In Gaza, Trump's Board of Peace met with deep scepticism, little hope
"I've heard about money being collected for Gaza, but we see nothing. This has happened many times, but nothing ever changes, said 43-year-old Amal Joudeh, who lives in a tent in Deir el-Balah. I am one of the people whose house is gone. I still have no home. My husband is injured, and my children are injured. We want any support or reconstruction any solution, said the mother of eight, who had been displaced from the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya."
"Addressing the meeting in Washington, DC, Trump announced that nine member nations have pledged $7bn to a reconstruction fund for the Gaza Strip. He said the US will also make a contribution of $10bn to the BoP, although he didn't specify what the money will be used for. The pledges, however, remain far below United Nations estimates of up to $70bn needed for rebuilding the Palestinian territory, destroyed by nonstop Israeli bombardment during more than two years of a genocidal war."
President Donald Trump convened the first meeting of the Board of Peace in Washington, DC, where nine nations pledged $7bn to a Gaza reconstruction fund and the US pledged $10bn. Five countries agreed to deploy troops to an International Stabilisation Force. United Nations estimates put reconstruction needs as high as $70bn, far exceeding the pledged sums. Hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians live in tents across central and southern Gaza, lacking homes, medical care, and basic reconstruction. Many residents expressed skepticism about whether promised funds and forces will produce real safety, rebuilding, or tangible change on the ground. Gaza remains heavily damaged after more than two years of nonstop bombardment.
