Gaza Reconstruction Cost Hits $71B

The Gaza Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDNA) found that more than two years of war have left the territory's infrastructure in ruins, with a third of the required funding needed just to restore basic survival services.

The report calls for a massive international effort to fund the rebuilding process, though observers warn that political instability remains a significant hurdle.

Families in southern Lebanon are also burying their dead as a tenuous ceasefire with Israel holds, further emphasizing the regional humanitarian crisis.

The findings underscore the long-term economic and social fallout of the conflict for millions of displaced civilians.
