Gaza homes 'uninhabitable' as tens of thousands come back to rubble

[4now]

"You can't imagine the destruction," said Adel Lubda, the chief council engineer.

Previous estimates of 65,000 rendered homeless in Gaza now look conservative. In Beit Hanoun alone, about 30,000 people will have to be rehoused. The town is just one of around a dozen communities lying in the two-mile "free fire zone" declared by Israeli troops to have been devastated during the most intense period of fighting.

Gaza has a population of 1.8 million and already had a chronic shortage of housing before this latest conflict, the third in six years between Hamas and Israel.

On Monday, the United Nations called the level of destruction "unprecedented".

1. The ones that are structurally sound

will have the rubble swept out and it will be ten to a room, minimum. There is little food, no shelter, no jobs, and people are prevented from leaving.

And it will likely stay that way, given that Israel has said nothing about lifting the blockade.

Will 100% used by Hsmas to rebuilding murder tunnels and not fixing this damage .
