Board of Peace proposes $2.45 billion Gaza reconstruction blueprint

Why is the focus on rubble when the blueprint barely touches the energy grid? You cannot rebuild a city while the power plants are still scrap. Is this a reconstruction plan or just a cleanup effort?
We saw a similar framework for the West Bank years ago that stalled because the oversight mechanisms were too rigid. I suspect this $2.45 billion is a target for donors rather than committed capital.
The funding source is secondary to border crossing capacity. If the transit points remain throttled, that money just sits in accounts while local material costs inflate.
The blueprint allocates funds for debris removal, but it omits the specific monthly quotas for heavy machinery imports. Without a guaranteed equipment schedule, the logistics budget is purely speculative.
