United Nations housing expert Balakrishnan Rajagopal has stated that the reconstruction of Gaza could take 80 years if the Israeli occupation continues its aggression on the enclave.
“The level of destruction in certain areas of #Gaza, particularly northern Gaza, is approaching levels of 100%. It’s not 70% anymore. And one has to ask, what is really the goal or the military objective of destruction of this scale, which no other military power in any recent conflict has seen necessary in order to win a war Rajagopal said.
“If truly what’s going on in Gaza is a war, the purpose of war is victory. But what is the metric of victory here? I’ve been unable to understand, given the scale of this destruction.”
Meanwhile at least 19 more Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, bringing the overall death toll since October last year to 42,519, the Health Ministry in the enclave said on Saturday.
A ministry statement added that some 99,637 others were injured in the ongoing assault.
“Israeli forces killed 19 people and injured 91 others in three massacres of families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said.
“Many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.
