A new United Nations (UN) Trade and Development report released Thursday estimates that the Gaza Strip needs 71.5 billion U.S. dollars for recovery and reconstruction efforts.
The report noted that Israel's long-term occupation of Palestinian territories has severely constrained Gaza's economy, with the escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since October 2023 sharply driving up economic damage.
Following a sharp contraction in 2024, Palestine's gross domestic product (GDP) experienced an increase of 4.3 percent in 2025, but remained 20 percent below its 2022 level. In the Gaza Strip, annual per capita GDP in 2025 dropped to just 212 U.S. dollars -- representing a mere 17 percent of its 2022 level -- while unemployment reached 78 percent.
Meanwhile, the human toll remains heavy. Gaza-based health authorities reported that 1,394 people have been killed since the ceasefire took effect in October last year, bringing the total death toll since October 7, 2023, to 73,914.
