Gaza faces a multi-billion dollar reconstruction challenge after the war with Israel, with billions of dollars needed to rebuild the coastal strip. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with over 47,000 people killed in Gaza and 1,200 in Israel. Clearing the rubble left by the war could take 21 years and cost up to $1.2 billion. Two-thirds of Gaza's pre-war structures have been damaged or destroyed, including over 170,000 buildings. The infrastructure damage is estimated to be $18.5 billion, affecting essential services and the road network. The conflict has also led to the destruction of agricultural land and numerous government facilities, schools, and religious buildings.
