Israel’s war on Gaza, which lasted for 15 months, left an unprecedented level of destruction, with an estimated 51 million tonnes of rubble blanketing the landscape where bustling neighborhoods once thrived.
According to a new UN damage and needs assessment report, over 60 per cent of homes – amounting to some 292,000 – and 65 per cent of roads have been destroyed, across the approximately 360 square kilometre enclave.
Since the start of the ceasefire up to February 23, UNRWA has delivered critical food assistance to an estimated 2 million people across the Gaza Strip. During the same reporting period, UNRWA teams have provided over 364,000 health consultations and reached more than half a million people with shelter and non-food items.
