Exclusive: group behind notorious Florida immigration detention center created bid for reconstruction deal

Trump administration insiders and well-connected Republican businesses have been jostling to dominate pending humanitarian aid and reconstruction logistics in the shattered Gaza Strip, according to sources and documents reviewed by the Guardian.

With three-quarters of Gaza’s structures damaged or destroyed by two years of Israeli strikes, the rebuilding effort to come – estimated at $70bn by the United Nations – could be a rich prize for companies that specialize in construction, demolition, transportation and logistics.

But there’s no way to issue long-term contracts for reconstruction or humanitarian aid yet: a Board of Peace, chaired by Donald Trump, was endorsed by the United Nations to administer the territory but is not yet in operation. And the mandate of the new Civil-Military Coordination Center is limited.

      I fully understand how you’re feeling, but we don’t need to go around throwing slurs about other marginalised groups to describe these terrible people.

      If it was democrats who blown up venezuelan fish you would have been ok with it just like you have been silence about the usa helping the detruction of Libya and Syria. You are fine with brown people being killed in Gaza and Sudan you hypocrite

      All would have been avoided if Harris wasn’t so idiodic and bad at showing how Trump wasn’t going to save the economy and protect the border

        I disagree but I won’t be downvoting unless they add in a super downvote that deletes the whole comment as well.
