STORYLINE
Gaza’s housing ministry said on Thursday that 16,800 housing units had been damaged. Of those, 1,800 had become unfit for living and 1,000 were destroyed completely.
After brokering a ceasefire between the Israelis and Hamas movement that garnered Egypt international diplomatic clout, Cairo is now banking on a $500 million reconstruction project to shore up its regional political influence. Last month, Egypt pledged half a billion dollars to rebuild the blockaded Palestinian enclave, which was bombarded by Israel for 11 days during heavy fighting with Hamas which ended with an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire on May 21.
