The World Bank will release an assessment of damages to infrastructure in Gaza in the coming days, along with an updated assessment of damages in Ukraine on February 25, Anna Bjerde, the bank’s managing director of operations, has said.

According to Reuters, Bjerde said the Gaza report, prepared together with the United Nations and European Union, would provide a fuller overview of damage to the Palestinian enclave.

An interim report in April showed it suffered $18.5 billion in damages to critical infrastructure in the first four months of the war.
