    Hundreds of thousands of temporary shelters would also be delivered.

    Reconstruction will not be overnight and theres a lot of things like schools and hospitals to rebuild too.

    The plan is to work with partners towards reconstruction. I know that terminology well: If I am to compare this to how this kind of stuff is handled domestically after say, a natural disaster: a lot of people are going to be left waiting a long time in rubble.

      I think estimates are month or two ago was that it would take upward of a decade to clear rubble. Unless Israel ends its siege they will have a hard time importing any building materials, and countries that historically sponsored major works such as hospitals and universities will be reluctant to do so, because why invest hundreds a of millions into a construction project that Israel will just bomb a few years later?

      It’s ridiculous how much rebuilding takes, at least in the US, and how much racism and classism plays into it.

      I went to NOLA like 5 years after Hurricane Katrina and most of the houses I saw in “certain” (poor) neighborhoods still had the spray paint on them from first responders. Also one of the (predominantly black) universities there I don’t think had fully rebuilt either at that point while the other (predominantly white) university had just gotten a new sports field.

      I just can’t imagine being in a war torn place where much of the world hardly acknowledges you as a human and trying to rebuild your community.

      It just blows my mind every day the cruelty in this world - and the fact that there are so many genocides happening simultaneously. I still remember when I was a small child finding out that WW2 did not hold the only genocide the world had ever or would ever see. I still can’t quite wrap my head around it.

        For me it was rodney king, figured that shit belonged back in the 1800s and we weren’t a bunch of fucking barbarians any more. It’s hard, coming from what should be, into what is.
