EU Pledges 900 Million Euros for Gaza Reconstruction Amid Fragile Ceasefire
The European Union has pledged 900 million euros (approximately 1 billion USD) to aid the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, heavily damaged by ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. The funds, raised at an EU-backed conference involving multiple international stakeholders, aim to restore essential services like water, sanitation, health, and food systems. However, officials note uncertainty about the timing of fund disbursement and rebuilding efforts due to the fragile ceasefire. A UN report estimates reconstruction needs at 71.4 billion USD, with over 370,000 homes affected and nearly 2 million Palestinians displaced.
