In the aftermath of the Gaza war, the rubble left behind has become a grim reminder of the destruction and loss suffered by many families. For 11-year-old Mohammed and his father, Jihad Shamali, the fallen roof of their home in Khan Younis is now being repurposed as gravestones for war victims, including Shamali’s own son. The UN estimates over 42 million tonnes of debris, posing challenges for debris management in Gaza. Despite the difficulties, efforts are underway to clear the rubble and aid in reconstruction.
However, the debris also conceals dangers such as unexploded bombs and contaminated materials, raising health concerns for the residents in Gaza. The shortage of land and equipment, exacerbated by Israeli restrictions, hampers the cleanup process. Ultimately, the rebuilding of Gaza hinges on political solutions and international support.
