One month after the ceasefire: Inside Gaza's reconstruction challenge

One month after the ceasefire was agreed, Gaza still lies in tatters. After two years of fighting, it's estimated that around 55 million tonnes of rubble need to be cleared to make way for the reconstruction of homes, hospitals, schools, shops, and offices - the very building blocks of normal life. The United Nations estimates that this will cost at least $70 billion. But with a project of this scale - just where do you start?

In this edition of The Agenda, Juliet Mann speaks to Jaco Cilliers, the UN Development Programme Special Representative for the Palestinians; Mustafa Barghouti, General Secretary of the Palestinian National Initiative; Sultan Barakat, Professor at the College of Public Policy at Hamad bin Khalifa University; and Ismene Gizelis, Professor in the Department of Government at the University of Essex.
