The 66-project proposal includes estimated spending for temporary housing, rubble removal, hospital repairs, economic recovery and the deployment ​of a multinational security force, the report added, citing a ​copy of the plan.

The ​plan estimates physical damage in Gaza at $35.2 billion and says ​full recovery and reconstruction will require about $71.4 billion over the next decade, the Axios report added. It also calls for repairing border crossings, restoring electricity and ​water infrastructure, deploying 25,000 portable solar power kits and permanently ​filling tunnels beneath sites needed for priority reconstruction projects. Trump's administration told Congress in late ‌July ⁠it is sending more than $206 million for a proposed Gaza peacekeeping force, the first significant funding for the stalled US plan to rebuild the devastated enclave. Trump set up a Board of Peace ​to oversee his ​ambitious plan ⁠to end Israel's war in Gaza. But since the announcement of an agreement in late July, the ​effort has stalled, with both Israel and Palestinian ​militants Hamas ⁠refusing to fulfill conditions that would allow the deal to move ahead. The report said the Board of Peace and the Palestinian government ⁠have ​not secured the entire $2.45 billion but ​are confident that, once political hurdles are cleared, donor countries will step up.
