Rebuilding Gaza requires billions of dollars
The head of the UN Development Program, Achim Steiner, said it will take years to rebuild Gaza after a 15-month-long war.
Israel and Hamas have reached an agreement on a ceasefire and the release of hostages in Gaza鈥攔aising hopes of an end to fifteen months of war.
So, if the ceasefire holds, how long will it take to rebuild from the rubble? What would be the priorities? How much will it cost? And who will pay? We will look at all these with different guests, including the head of the United Nations Development Programme, Achim Steiner.
Rice is the staple crop for more than half the world鈥檚 population, but it's vulnerable to drought and flooding, impacting global harvests and prices. It's also a contributor to climate change; it uses more water than other grain crops. So, should we eat less rice?
We will be joined throughout the program by two guests on opposite sides of the world: Zyma Islam, senior reporter for The Daily Star, who is in Malaysia, and Walter Todd, president and chief investment officer at Greenwood Capital in South Carolina.
