CGTN | Gaza: 'You've got to start thinking about reconstruction' – expert

Aid and pauses in the fighting may seem crucial for the Gazans right now, but energies also need to be directed to the future of the troubled region after the war. That’s the opinion of Jamie Shea, Senior Fellow of the think tank Friends of Europe.

Israel will begin four-hour pauses in northern Gaza to allow people to flee hostilities, the U.S. said on Thursday, although the UN stressed any halt to fighting for humanitarian purposes would need to be agreed by all parties “to be truly effective.”
