Seven months after a ceasefire took effect in Gaza, tens of thousands of residents remain trapped in partially destroyed homes that risk imminent collapse, with no reconstruction in sight. The United Nations estimates that some 50 million tonnes of rubble must be cleared across the territory following the intensive bombardment of recent years, and at least 25 people have already been killed by building collapses. Families describe living amid cracked ceilings, shattered walls, and debris, with nowhere else to go, as ongoing displacement and a lack of humanitarian aid leave the population with few alternatives.
