Gaza aid workers clear 61m tonnes of rubble hiding 10,000 bodies
Original: 61m tonnes of rubble: Gaza aid workers face delicate task of clearing ruins concealing up to 10,000 bodies By Seham Tant
Aid workers in Gaza have begun one of the largest rubble-clearance operations in modern history, removing 61 million tonnes of debris from the war-torn territory. The work is delicate: an estimated 10,000 bodies remain buried beneath the ruins, alongside unexploded bombs. Workers say the debris holds lives and memories as well as wreckage, and each site must be handled carefully. Reporting from Gaza City highlights the scale and human cost of the task ahead.
Why now: The sheer scale of the debris and the human remains still buried under it make the recovery effort a striking and sobering story of the war's aftermath.
