The Gaza Strip is in shambles, with entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble, and stagnant sewage water posing health hazards. Streets have become dirt ravines, and the stench of decomposing bodies permeates the air.

Israel's offensive against Hamas has resulted in over 41,000 casualties, with significant civilian losses and massive destruction across the strip. Rebuilding seems a distant reality with the prolonged conflict, leaving hundreds of thousands of people in makeshift camps indefinitely.

Despite its critical condition, rebuilding Gaza involves unprecedented challenges, including clearing massive debris, importing materials amidst imposed restrictions, and navigating a tangled political landscape. Efforts so far have been insufficient to address the profound humanitarian crisis.
