ガザ復興、最低８兆円必要　国連が暫定推計

【国連（米国）ＡＦＰ＝時事】国連は１１日、イスラエルの激しい攻撃により瓦礫と化したパレスチナ自治区ガザを復興し、「人道的惨事」を終わらせるには約５３０億ドル（約８兆１０００億円）以上の資金が必要だとする報告書を公表した。（写真は資料写真）
　１月３０日付の報告書は、ガザの復興に着手し、イスラエルの占領を早急に終わらせて「実現可能な二国家解決」を導くには「政治・安全保障面での枠組み」を整備する必要があるとも指摘している。
　報告書は、ガザ全域の短・中・長期の復興に必要な資金を総額５３１億４２００万ドルと試算。そのうち当初３年間の短期の必要額は２０５億６８００万ドルと見積もっている。
　１年以上に及ぶイスラエルとイスラム組織ハマスの戦闘により、「住宅の６０％以上」が破壊されたとし、住宅部門には約１５２億ドルが必要と推計。
　商業・産業部門と医療部門にはそれぞれ６９億ドルが必要と試算。農業部門の復興に４２億ドル、交通部門に２９億ドル、水・衛生分野に２７億ドル、教育には２６億ドルが必要と想定している。
　報告書はまた、大量の瓦礫の撤去費用がかさむため、環境部門にも１９億ドルが必要としている。国連は、ガザには５０００万トン以上の瓦礫があり、その中には人間の遺体や不発弾、アスベストなど有害物質が含まれているとみている。
　アントニオ・グテレス事務総長は報告書の中で、今回の報告は「暫定評価」であり、まだ完全なものではないと警告。また、「重要なのは、パレスチナ自治政府がガザ復旧・復興の立案・実施の中心にいるということだ」と強調した。【翻訳編集ＡＦＰＢＢＮｅｗｓ】

More than $53 billion will be required to rebuild Gaza and end the humanitarian catastrophe that has gripped the war-ravaged territory, including $20 billion in the first three years alone, the United Nations said Tuesday.
The global body said in a report that a political and security framework must also be put in place so that recovery and rebuilding can begin, and a groundwork can be laid for a political process to quickly end the Israeli occupation and establish a viable two-State solution.
Much of Gaza -- including schools, hospitals and other civic infrastructure -- has been reduced to rubble by a withering Israeli military offensive following an unprecedented Hamas attack on October 7, 2023.
The interim assessment offers an early indication of the enormous scale of recovery and reconstruction needs in the Gaza Strip, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in the document, cautioning that it was not a full assessment.
The report estimates the recovery and reconstruction needs in the short, medium and long term across the Gaza Strip at $53.142 billion. Of these, the near-term needs in the first three years are estimated to be around $20.568 billion, he added.
In a resolution adopted in December calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in Gaza, the UN General Assembly had asked Guterres to provide an assessment of the territory's needs within two months.
The report assessed that with over 60 percent of homes destroyed in the year-plus war between Israel and Palestinian group Hamas, the housing sector requires around $15.2 billion.
The commerce and industry sector will need an estimated $6.9 billion, as will the health sector, according to the report.
Reviving the agricultural industry will take around $4.2 billion, transport will require $2.9 billion, water and sanitation an estimated $2.7 billion and education $2.6 billion.
The report also noted the particularly high costs of $1.9 billion anticipated for the environmental sector as a result of the massive debris laced with unexploded ordnance and the high cost associated with removal of debris.
The United Nations has estimated that the war has generated more than 50 million tons of debris, including human remains, unexploded ordnance, asbestos and other hazardous substances.
Critically, the Palestinian Authority must be at the center of planning for and the implementation of recovery and reconstruction in Gaza, Guterres said in the report, which was dated January 30.
That was days before US President Donald Trump said he wanted to take over Gaza, redevelop the territory and oust the more than two million Palestinians living there.
His plan has prompted a global backlash and has been rejected by Palestinians.
