History

Historical Context

The Gaza Reconstruction Conference in October 2014 raised $5.4 billion for rebuilding after the 2014 conflict, where over 2,100 Palestinians were killed. Despite international pledges, only a fraction of funds reached Gaza, exacerbating humanitarian crises. Today, discussions led by Donald Trump's Board of Peace echo these past efforts, as Gaza faces a staggering $71.4 billion reconstruction cost amid ongoing occupation and aid restrictions.
