Gaza will need a new “Marshall Plan” to recover from the conflict between Israel and Hamas, a UN trade body official says.
“This will need a new Marshall Plan,” Richard Kozul-Wright, a director at the UN trade body (UNCTAD), tells a UN meeting in Geneva, referring to a plan for Europe’s economic recovery after World War II.
He says that the damage was already four times the damage endured in Gaza during the seven-week war in 2014.
