Israel's conflict in Gaza has left behind 37 million tonnes of debris, including unexploded bombs, which could require more than a decade to remove, according to a UN demining official. With an average of 300kg of rubble per square meter, it's estimated to take 14 years with 100 trucks to clear it. The intense bombing campaign, primarily targeting residential buildings, poses risks for clearance efforts due to the presence of unexploded weapons. Meanwhile, Egyptian officials are attempting to revive ceasefire talks amidst concerns over a potential Israeli assault on Rafah, Gaza's largest populated area.
