The conflict in Gaza has caused extreme humanitarian conditions, with 5 percent of the population killed or injured and around two million displaced. Immediate actions are needed to restore essential health and education services, shelter, and basic utilities. A thorough needs assessment is crucial for planning short-, medium-, and long-term recovery efforts. Priorities include essential services, housing, business support, and clearing rubble. Gaza’s outdated urban planning and building regulations need reform to support sustainable development, affordable housing, and economic growth, addressing uncontrolled urban expansion.
