How a future Gaza would look under Egypt's $53bn plan

Egypt's $53bn plan for the reconstruction of Gaza, backed by the Arab League on Tuesday, has an ambitious vision for the architectural future of the war-ravaged Palestinian enclave.

The 91-page plan, shared with Middle East Eye by officials ahead of the extraordinary Arab summit, proposes a new urban character for Gaza’s post-war architecture, blending Palestinian heritage with modern technology and designs. 

It was a counter-proposal to US President Donald Trump’s declaration last month that he intends to take over Gaza and turn it into a tourism hub while displacing its Palestinian population.
