... The World Health Organization said 15,600 patients need urgent medical evacuation in Gaza and noted it needed to scale up treatment for malnutrition. It said more than 15,000 Palestinians have had limbs amputated due to war injuries. With winter coming, hundreds of thousands of tents will be needed for temporary shelter.

... The World Bank in February estimated it would take $53 billion in reconstruction funds. Israeli attacks have severely damaged or destroyed most infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, water treatment and electricity plants.
