UN and Palestinians Use Gaza Rubble to Restore Infrastructure Amid Rebuilding Challenges

Palestinians, supported by the United Nations Development Programme, are repurposing rubble from buildings destroyed during Israel's recent assault on Gaza to repair roads and create community spaces. This initiative aims to clear an estimated 61 million tons of debris obstructing access to essential services and economic activity. Progress is hindered by the need to safely remove unexploded ordnance and limited access to heavy machinery and fuel amid ongoing security restrictions imposed by Israel. The clearance effort could take up to seven years under current conditions.
