At least the killing has ended,

for now. The reconstruction

will be expensive and will

take a long time.

The headquarters were badly damaged and nearly 40 people were killed near one of the schools.

Israel said militants used the UN buildings as cover to launch attacks, but the military has launched its own investigation.

Thousands of Gazans have been left homeless by the Israeli offensive and Palestinian officials warned it could cost $1.9bn to rebuild the territory.

Israeli troops are expected to complete their pull-out later, if the current ceasefire holds.
