Gaza Faces Massive Debris Cleanup
The article discusses the international efforts undertaken by the United Nations to remove approximately 61 million tons of rubble resulting from the war in the Gaza Strip, marking the largest debris volume in years. The removal process, which could take between 7 to 10 years and cost billions of dollars, faces significant challenges due to dangerous conditions, including unidentified bodies and unexploded bombs, as well as the difficulty of bringing in the necessary equipment because of the Israeli blockade. So far, about 907,000 tons of debris have been cleared, less than 2% of the total, while UN teams are managing five crushing sites, relying on outdated and corroded equipment with scarce spare parts. This mission is among the largest debris removal operations in history and is part of reconstruction efforts amid severe humanitarian conditions, with over 2.1 million displaced people living in temporary shelters, amidst ongoing logistical and security challenges.
