The reconstruction of Gaza is estimated to cost $71 billion and could take up to a decade, but who will pay to rebuild the devastated region?
Nearly 75,000 people have been killed in Gaza, in the three years since Israel began its war on Gaza after October the 7th.
Most of Gaza's 2.1 million population are displaced and 82% of buildings destroyed or damaged.
Despite a fragile ceasefire, the EU has launched its Team Gaza initiative, with an initial $1 billion for early reconstruction efforts.
President Trump's Board of Peace has pledged $2.45 billion, but will it materialise and where will the rest of money come from?
Is a rebuild even possible with Israeli airstrikes continuing and limited access into Gaza?
