It will [if fighting stopped today] take, at minimum, quite a few years and billions of dollars to rebuild the homes, mosques, schools, power stations, infrastructure destroyed - of course the lives can never be; even less so the terror the living are left with in loses, grief, suffering, indignities, injustices, lost limbs, wounds - physical and mental.
Apart from the dead and injured as a result of the bombing there is a looming health crisis with bodies everywhere left unburied for days weeks and no medical supplies able to get in to the country no food either. No electricity in much of the place. God knows raw sewerage everywhere. malnourished in body and traumatised in mind. UN has asked for helicopters to take the severely injured out to other countries to get medical help. People with conditions requiring routine medicine (heart disease, asthma etc) or procedures (dialysis, blood tranfusions etc) are in danger.
Israel has already said they wont be paying for any repairs to any thing they have bombed. The siege still stays and building materials will not be allowed in (they also make tunnels)so I don't know how anything will get repaired. Let alone the people.
