Today, with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) , we launched our 3rd assessment on the socioeconomic impacts of the #Gaza war in the State of Palestine. The new assessment estimates that poverty in the State of Palestine will increase to 74.3% in 2024, affecting 4.1 million people, including 2.61 million people who are newly impoverished. It also projects that the gross domestic product (GDP) will contract by 35.1% in 2024 compared with a no-war scenario, with unemployment potentially rising to 49.9%. The assessment suggests that a comprehensive recovery and reconstruction plan, combining humanitarian aid with strategic investments in recovery and reconstruction along with lifting economic restrictions and promoting recovery-enabling conditions, could help put the Palestinian economy on a restorative track to realign with Palestinian development plans by 2034. But this scenario can only play out if recovery efforts are unrestricted. Read our 🆕 #GazaWarImpact socio-economic assessment below and more at: https://go.undp.org/ohn

Immediate access and urgent funding are needed to prevent famine, support community-based resilience, and restore local markets. Read below and more at: https://lnkd.in/eHDwQsmf
