After two years of devastating war between Israel and Hamas, a fragile ceasefire has allowed displaced Palestinians to return to Gaza City, only to find their homes and communities reduced to rubble.
Drone footage and eyewitness accounts reveal that the vast majority of buildings are destroyed, with entire neighborhoods leveled and agricultural land rendered unusable. The United Nations estimates that up to $70 billion will be needed for reconstruction, and countries including the US, Canada, and several European and Arab nations have expressed willingness to contribute. Despite the influx of aid and the promise of international support, the scale of destruction means recovery will take decades, and many Gazans fear that their losses—both physical and emotional—can never truly be restored.
The situation remains precarious, with concerns about the sustainability of the ceasefire and the immense challenges ahead for rebuilding lives and infrastructure.
