Economic researcher Ahmad Abu Qamar said the construction sector forms a crucial part of Gaza's economic recovery equation, given the near-total collapse of economic activity and the expanding reconstruction needs. Shehab Wire reported his comments in the context of anticipated large-scale rebuilding requirements across the territory.
Abu Qamar indicated that simply injecting reconstruction funds would prove insufficient to restore the Gaza economy without addressing broader structural challenges facing the sector.
