SINGLE SOURCE
The specific detail that 'about a third' of the $71 billion is needed to restore essential services is explicitly mentioned in the Al Jazeera source. While other sources confirm the total $71 billion figure, they do not provide the specific breakdown of the 'one-third' for essential services, making this specific detail corroborated by only one source in the provided evidence.
