> A UNCTAD report estimates Gaza’s recovery and reconstruction needs at $71.5bn, with the figure likely to rise. Israeli military operations have damaged or destroyed 92 percent of Gaza’s economic establishments, while more than 90 percent of its working-age population is unemployed. The report warns that systemic financial collapse is no longer theoretical.
