One million tonnes is a milestone. But in #Gaza, it also puts the scale of what remains into perspective.

@UNDP is working alongside the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, through the Debris Management Working Group, to advance coordinated debris removal across Gaza.

With support from Japan, Norway, the Republic of Korea, the European Union and Germany through KfW, this work is helping reopen access to neighbourhoods, homes and essential services.

The scale ahead is immense. Sustaining and expanding debris removal is critical to creating the conditions for early recovery.

Look forward to deepening our collaboration.
