74% of buildings in the Gaza Strip have been damaged since October 7th, including homes, stores, hospitals, and schools. This raises the question of what people are returning to and the lack of commitments to rebuild infrastructure.

Israel Katz, the Israeli defense minister, plans to shift focus to raising Gaza tunnels. They've leveled the Gaza Strip, leaving millions homeless with no infrastructure.

Over the weekend, displaced Palestinians made their journey to the neighborhoods they're from in the Gaza Strip. However, for the vast majority, Israel razed much of the area, making reconstruction incredibly costly and time-consuming.

The ceasefire in Gaza is a generational reconstruction project. Gaza is unlivable with 70 to 90% of structures destroyed, and there's an urgent need for international effort to rebuild, not just provide temporary relief.

The plan includes economic development initiatives for Gaza, involving investment from Qatar, UAE, and Saudi Arabia.

The United Nations Satellite Center estimated that 83% of all structures in Gaza City had been destroyed or damaged by late September. This number jumps to 93% for residential buildings throughout the Gaza Strip.

The recovery process in Gaza is slow due to the lack of heavy machinery. Palestinians are using pickaxes and bare hands to find family members under the rubble.

The Health Ministry reports that the violent death toll has reached 67,806, with 170,066 wounded. This represents more than 10% of Gaza's pre-war population, and the figures are expected to be an undercount.

The plan proposes economic development in Gaza with investments from countries like Qatar, UAE, and Saudi Arabia, aiming to create a prosperous economy and peaceful coexistence.

The devastation in Gaza is likened to the impact of 13 bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, highlighting the scale of destruction.
