Destruction in GazaA month of Zionist aggressions on the Gaza Strip will cost the Palestinian territory at least $4-6 billion in damages, deputy economy minister Taysir Amro said Tuesday.

Amro told AFP the figure included only "direct damages" to the Gaza economy and warned it could climb further once additional impacts on the 1.8 million population are taken into account.

A more precise assessment would be carried out once calm returns permanently to the overpopulated sliver of territory, he said.

Amro said international donors were expected to meet in Norway in September, but gave no further details.
