Gaza Strip: A top UN mining official has made a big claim on what kind of damage has been caused by Israel’s ongoing attacks in Gaza. The official said that the ongoing war in Gaza has so far generated 37 million tons of debris. This debris includes a large number of unexploded bombs, which may take about 14 years to remove. Pihar Lodhammar, Iraq’s former United Nations Mine Action Service chief, said there was an average of 300 kg of debris per square meter of land in Gaza.
According to the Guardian report, Lodhammar said, ‘If the work of removing the debris in Gaza is done with 100 trucks, then we are talking about it taking 14 years. The war is still going on, so while it is still going on, it is impossible to estimate how long it will take for the evacuation to end. He said that Israel’s bombing in Gaza has turned large parts of this area into ruins. Sixty-five percent of the buildings destroyed in Gaza were residential buildings.

Clearing debris is a difficult task
“Clearing and rebuilding demolished or damaged buildings will be a slow and dangerous task because of the danger of buried shells, missiles or other weapons,” Lodhammar said. About 10 percent of the weapons did not explode when fired. To remove these, landmine removal teams will have to come. So it is going to take a long time.

Israeli strikes have killed 34,000 Palestinians in nearly seven months, according to Gaza health officials, the majority of whom are women and children. Israel launched the war in response to the October 7 attack when Hamas killed 1,200 people and took 250 hostage. After this Israel started attacks. A large number of people of Gaza have been displaced due to the fighting. There is currently a major humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
