A recent report by the United Nations Development Programme has highlighted the devastating consequences of the war in Gaza, stating that it could potentially erase over 69 years of progress in the enclave. The report indicates that key indicators such as life expectancy, education, income, and standard of living are projected to plummet to levels last seen in 1955.
The UNDP Administrator, Achim Steiner, emphasized the urgent need to address the economic restrictions in Gaza, enable recovery, and invest in development to prevent a long-term crisis that could severely impact the future of Palestinians for generations to come.
