The Ambassador of Armenia to Cairo, Hrachia Poladian, met with the Executive Director of the Egyptian Red Crescent Society, Rami El-Nazer.
During the meeting, the two parties discussed details related to the provision and transfer of humanitarian aid by Armenia to the residents of Gaza.
Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan announced the Armenian government’s decision to provide such assistance during his meeting with President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, on March 5, during his official visit to Egypt.
The Israeli aggression against Gaza destroyed nearly half of the buildings in the Strip and turned the Palestinian enclave into an “uninhabitable” place, according to what the United Nations announced.
The UN agency estimates that even if the reconstruction process begins immediately and Gaza returns to the average growth rate of 0.4 percent it has witnessed in the past 15 years, it will take seven decades for the Palestinian enclave to return to the level of GDP it recorded in 2022. .
The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development stated in a report that “the level of destruction resulting from the latest Israeli military operation has made the Gaza Strip uninhabitable.”
The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development estimated that by the end of November, 37,379 buildings, equivalent to 18 percent of the total buildings in the Gaza Strip, had been destroyed or damaged.
