Aid workers in Gaza are facing the enormous task of clearing an estimated 61 million tonnes of rubble left by more than a year of war, a task complicated by the likelihood that the bodies of up to 10,000 people remain buried beneath the ruins. Clearing operations must balance reconstruction with the careful recovery and identification of the dead, a slow and delicate process that will shape how families find closure and how the territory rebuilds.
