Gaza's economy was already in tatters, but the Israeli invasion has caused 'unparalleled devastation', the UN says
ABCIt will take Gaza's economy three and a half centuries to recover from destruction caused by the Israeli invasion of the territory, a UN report says. Israel's invasion of Gaza has "resulted in an unprecedented humanitarian, environmental and social catastrophe and propelled Gaza from de-development to utter ruin", the UN's trade and development wing said in a report published on Monday. The report noted the "utter destruction" of Gaza's infrastructure and productivity by Israeli military operations, closures and restrictions since the 1990s, but especially since October 2023. Israel's invasion and occupation of Gaza began following the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks, which killed 1,200 Israelis and took around 250 people hostage, Israeli tallies reported.
