Over 90 percent of Gaza lies in ruins, forcing thousands of residents to rebuild their homes with limited resources, Al Jazeera English reported. Families are using mud bricks and scrap materials salvaged from destroyed structures as they attempt to restore shelter in the devastated territory.
The reconstruction effort reflects the severe constraints facing Gaza's population. With conventional building materials scarce and access restricted, residents have turned to alternative construction methods to provide basic housing. Mud brick production has become a common practice among families lacking access to cement, steel, and other standard construction supplies needed for conventional rebuilding.
