Large parts of Gaza lie in ruins after almost an entire year of war. Many buildings have been razed to the ground. The UN estimates that there are over 42 million tonnes of building material and waste among the ruins, writes Reuters. They also estimate that there may be as many as 10,000 people buried under the ruins. Cleaning up the Gaza Strip could cost as much as NOK 13 billion if the war were stopped now, according to the UN. In April, they estimated that the work could take at least 14 years.
