AMMAN: United Nations housing expert Balakrishnan Rajagopal has warned that the reconstruction of Gaza could take 80 years if Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression, as reported by the Palestine News and Info Agency (WAFA).
According to the official UN website, Rajagopal, who serves as an independent UN investigator monitoring the right to adequate housing, stated that by January 2024, between 60% and 70% of homes in Gaza would have been destroyed, with the northern region experiencing a destruction rate of 82%.
