UN Secretary-General António Guterres announced plans to attend an emergency Arab League summit in Cairo next week, aiming to coordinate post-conflict reconstruction efforts in Gaza. The move signals a global push to address the region's urgent humanitarian and infrastructure needs.
🗣️ ‘Rebuilding Gaza requires international solidarity,’ Guterres said, highlighting challenges like restoring healthcare, schools, and housing. The summit is expected to draw leaders from across the Middle East to discuss funding and long-term peace strategies.
💡 Why it matters: With over $2 billion in estimated damage from recent conflicts, Gaza’s recovery hinges on collaborative action. The UN’s involvement could accelerate aid delivery and prevent further escalation.
