Palestinian data shows that around 80,000 homes have been destroyed in the conflict.

    That tends to happen when the IDF intentionally destroys buildings in a way that’s extremely difficult to rebuild.

      Oh and the IDF blockading everything. So even if Palestinians live long enough to rebuild their homes there’s nothing to rebuild with. No materials, no tools, no infrastructure, no engineers nor architectures. Just rubble.

        I’ve even seen news stories that indicate the IDF is clearing and trucking out/burying rubble so it cannot be reused or recycled if rebuilding ever occurs.
        Because of the concrete blockade, there used to be a decent trade in Gaza to recycle concrete to build new things. (I don’t know how they do it. Maybe they just use it as aggregate?) I imagine the metals could be repurposed (some), or more likely, sold as scrap and those funds used to buy new materials.

    I suspect the larger issue is that the people that lived in those homes have been genocided and are irreplaceable, no?

    A country is its people, not it’s infrastructure.

    I’ve noticed a small change in how news media has recently been reporting information provided by Palestine: they’re not using ‘according to Hamas run (agency)’ as often. It’s a small but significant change that, I think, indicates more people are no longer buying that Israel has the “most moral army.”
