Gaza Debris Management Situation Report - December 2025
December 19, 2025
Following a brutal two-year war, eighty per cent of the buildings in Gaza have been destroyed, creating an estimated 57.5 million tons of debris that clutters roadways and the public right-of-way. UNDP co-chairs the Debris Management Working Group with the UN Environment Programme, and is working to remove, crush, and re-use debris across the Gaza Strip. The crushed debris is delivered to partners, including World Central Kitchen, UNICEF, the WASH Cluster, the World Food Programme, ICRC, OCHA, UK MED, and local neighborhoods. The materials are used for road paving, shelter sub bases, and barriers to manage rainwater, and other tangible assets that directly contribute to community recovery and resilience
