In Gaza, the humanitarian situation remains dire as around 8,000 bodies are still reported trapped under the rubble following recent conflicts, with less than 1% of the debris cleared. Efforts to recover these remains are ongoing, with many residents continuing to search for their loved ones. Amidst the stagnation of large-scale reconstruction plans, Palestinians are turning to the rubble from demolished buildings, actively using it to repair roads and rebuild their shelters. The Vatican newspaper has highlighted the prolonged suffering experienced by the people of Gaza, emphasizing their struggle to find closure for their deceased. As reconstruction initiatives hindered by lack of support stall, the community is resorting to self-help measures, utilizing the materials available to them in an effort to rebuild their lives.
