It may take decades, not years, to rebuild Gaza due to the massive destruction, an expert from the Brookings Institute told ABC News. Under the ceasefire agreement, the Gaza Strip is set to be redeveloped for the Palestinian people. Jaco Cilliers, an official from United Nations Development Programme, said at a press con…

It has been more than 737 days of bombing over all kinds of facilities: hospitals, schools, houses... with the aim, as the Israeli Army has repeatedly explained, of ending the members of the terrorist group Hamas.
