Introduction
The European Union (EU) has 900 million euros. They want to use this money to fix things in Gaza after the war.

Main Body
The EU and the UK are working together. They want to fix water, hospitals, and power. They also want to clean up the broken buildings.
歐盟與英國正展開合作，希望修復水務、醫院與電力設施，並清理損毀的建築物。
But Gaza needs much more money. The UN says they need 71 billion dollars to fix everything. 900 million euros is a small amount.
但加薩需要的資金遠超於此。聯合國表示需要 710 億美元才能完成所有修復工作。9 億歐元僅是極小部分。
There are still problems. Israeli soldiers are in many places. Hamas still has weapons. Because of this, the work is very slow.
目前仍存在問題。以色列士兵駐守在許多地方，而哈瑪斯仍持有武器。因此，重建進度非常緩慢。
Also, the EU is talking about trade. They might stop buying things from Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Some EU countries agree, but others do not.
此外，歐盟正在討論貿易問題。他們可能會停止購買西岸以色列定居點的產品。部分歐盟國家表示同意，但部分國家則不同意。
Conclusion
The world is starting to help Gaza. But the war and political problems make the work very hard.
世界正開始援助加薩，但戰爭與政治問題使得重建工作十分艱難。
