According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the Israeli war on Gaza has resulted in the damage or destruction of approximately 436,000 homes, amounting to about 92% of the total housing stock in the enclave.
Health and Environmental Disaster Looming
OCHA warned on its official website that the delay in removing an estimated 50 million tons of rubble and recovering the bodies trapped beneath poses not only severe psychological trauma for bereaved families but also imminent health and environmental disasters in Gaza—one of the most densely populated areas in the world.
Waste and Debris Removal Halted
Recent Israeli strikes have also targeted heavy machinery across Gaza, halting critical services, including solid waste management and debris removal, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis and increasing the risk of disease outbreaks.
