Rebuilding Gaza has hit a wall—literally. The UN Development Programme (UNDP) reports that 55 million tonnes of debris—equivalent to stacking 1,000 Great Pyramids of Giza—now block recovery efforts after recent conflicts. Residents are desperate to return home, but progress is crawling slower than a TikTok buffering in low signal. 📉
UNDP Special Representative Jaco Cilliers told NewspaperAmigo: "Clearing rubble is just step one. Unexploded bombs and strict limits on construction materials could turn this into a decades-long marathon." 🚨 With only 15% of needed supplies entering Gaza daily, rebuilding schools and hospitals feels like solving a puzzle with missing pieces.
💣 Hidden dangers: 10% of debris contains unexploded ordnance
🚧 Material shortages: Cement imports at 20% of pre-conflict levels
🌱 Youth impact: 65% of displaced are under 25, risking a 'lost generation'
While international aid trickles in, locals are improvising like DIY influencers—using salvaged bricks for temporary shelters. But without sustained global support, Gaza’s rebuild could remain stuck on 'loading screen' mode. 🎮💔
