The aftermath of the war in Gaza has left behind one of the most concentrated zones of urban destruction in recent history. According to a UNDP analysis released in October 2025, the two-year-long bombardment generated an estimated 55 million tonnes of rubble.
To put that in perspective, this is more than twice the debris generated by the catastrophic 2010 earthquake in Haiti, which produced around 23 million tonnes of rubble. The Gaza estimate was calculated using satellite-based 3D volumetric models combined with rubble density assumptions.
