around 19. the world bank says the economic growth in palestinhad dropped to minus 1% in the first quarter of 2014. the war made a struggling economic situation even worse. >> his story is like many farmers in this area. they describe how the tanks came up from the border about a mile behind me and destroyed their crops, destroyed millions of dollars worth of projects that would have generated money for a economy that has suffered years under israel's blockade. >> his tomatoes would have ended up at a factory like this, the owner tells me this is the first year in 20 he has had to import tomatoes from abroad. israeli tank shells have left around $6 million worth of damage at his factory which used to produce tomato concentrate. >> this is the biggest factory of its kind in palestine. if you count the farmers, traders and the transport companies involved, around 3,000

people have lost their jobs. >> israel's land, air and sea blockade means little goods are allowed into gaza and exports are virtually zero. despite government trying to strengthen its fiscal position, the world bank said it was facing a financial gap in the range of $350 million by the end of 2014. and that's without additional expenditure resulting from the war. it sealsis wants to destroy our economy. they hit up to 700 of our factors and small businesses. this war has brought our economy to its knees. it is estimated rebuilding gaza could cost up to $6,000,000,000. gaza has long been actioned by foreign investors, scared off by the political situation, or concerned about dealing with hamas, an organization the u.s. and others describe as terrorists. there is no sign israel is willing to lift its blockade. getting the materials in to even

begin rebuilding businesses like this and giving gaza's economy a chance seems as remote as ever. charles stratford, al jazeera, gaza. >> the u.s. centers for disease control and prevention says a breach of care resulted in a nurse in texas testing positive for ebola. she helped care for the first person ever diagnosed with the virus in the united states. the cdc is monitoring more healthcare workers who could have made the same mistake. >> unfortunately, it is possible in the coming days that we will see additional cases of ebola. this is because the healthcare workers who cared for this individual may have had a breach of the same nature of the individual who appears now to have preliminary positive tests. >> risk is in the 48 people who are being monitored, all of whom have been tested daily, none of whom so far have developed symptoms or fever, and in any

other healthcare workers who may have been exposed to this index patient while she was being cared for. >> let's go now to heidi castro in front of dallas presbyterian hospital. are authorities clear on just how widespread a breach may have happened? >> that's right, sammy. the biggest question is: how did this breach happen? >> what cdc has not determined yet at this point. the hospital says that there was no breach at the beginning and later, the cdc has said that if there weren't a breach >> this would not have happened. so, it's a big question for this heck worker, herself, who has been questioned by cdc investigators. she does not know how she may have inat vert eventually gotten this virus, herself. of course, that is why there is risk to other healthcare workers inside this hospital so great. now, i want to clarify, you heard thomas frieden, the cdc director talking about that 48,

the number of individuals who were exposed to the original ebola patient, thomas eric duncan who passed away here on wends, becoming the first person to die of ebola in the united states. this nurse who is hospitalized with ebola is not among those 48. in fact, they have not identified exactly how many others who cared for mr. duncan may be in danger. >> what perhaps corrective measures are they saying they have taken to kind of limit this thing? well, they say they are looking at those protocols although they have said many times previous to this that these protocols were unbreachable. they are saying two perhaps critical things in the care of mr. duncan that may have exposed workers. one is possible when he had deliver dialysis, and, also, because also when they were removing masks from these healthcare workers, they say the process of taking off this protective gear, that process, itself, may be dangerous to

workers. >> heidi zhou cast row there. thank you so much. the international monetary fund says it's ready to provide more money to countries fighting ebola in west africa. more than 4,000 people have been killed by the virus there. the imf has offered a $130 million commitment for guinea, liberia and sierra leone. imf chief christine lagard said more must be addressed regarding health infrastructure in those countries. he job description police have arrested six student protesters at the university in cairo. tear gas was used against thetude events who were supporters of the outlawed muslim brotherhood movement. armored vehicles were used in the operation to end demonstrations there. security is now increased at campuses across egypt. al jazeera continues to demand the release of its three journalists imprisoned in egypt, fat knee mohammed and peter greste have now been detained for 288 days.
