⛔*70 million tons of rubble and 20,000 unexploded ordnance (UXO) remain in Gaza. Gaza is facing the largest construction and humanitarian disaster in modern history.*
We confirm that the scale of destruction and rubble resulting from the genocidal war waged by the "Israeli" occupation on the Gaza Strip two years ago has reached an unprecedented level in modern history. Government estimates, as of mid-October 2025, indicate the presence of between 65 and 70 million tons of rubble and debris. This rubble includes thousands of homes, facilities, and vital installations that the occupation deliberately destroyed, transforming the Strip into an environmentally and structurally disaster area, obstructing the delivery of humanitarian aid, and hindering rescue and relief efforts.
Rubbish removal operations will face significant obstacles, most notably the lack of heavy equipment and machinery as a result of the "Israeli" occupation preventing their entry and the complete closure of the crossings, in addition to the deliberate "Israeli" prevention of the entry of any equipment or materials necessary for recovering bodies.
This tragic reality requires the international community to shoulder its legal and humanitarian responsibilities by pressuring the Israeli occupation to open the crossings and enable the immediate removal of rubble and debris from buildings destroyed by the Israeli war machine.
Initial estimates indicate the presence of approximately 20,000 unexploded ordnance, including bombs and missiles dropped by the Israeli occupation army. These unexploded ordnance pose a significant threat to the lives of civilians and field workers, and require careful engineering and security considerations before any removal work can begin.
In this context, we are faced with a critical challenge: formulating a comprehensive rubble management plan, including identifying areas of accumulation, dealing with hazardous waste, and developing a vision for recycling and temporary storage to ensure the safe and efficient return of life to the Gaza Strip after the massive humanitarian disaster it has suffered.

⭕️*Press Release No. (1006) issued by the Government Media Office:*
⛔️*The "Israeli" occupation returns 120 bodies of Palestinian martyrs after detaining them.. and there is damning evidence of field executions and brutal torture*
We announce the completion of receiving (120) bodies of Palestinian martyrs who were detained by the "Israeli" occupation during the genocidal war it launched against our Palestinian people, in three consecutive batches: (45 bodies on Tuesday, 45 bodies on Wednesday, and 30 bodies today, Thursday), including dozens of unidentified bodies that have not yet been identified.
Official examinations and field facts show that the occupation committed crimes of murder, field execution, and systematic torture against a large number of the honorable martyrs whose bodies were recovered, as the following was documented:
** Clear traces of hanging and ropes on the necks of a number of bodies.
** Direct gunfire from a very close range, confirming deliberate field executions.
** Hands and feet tied with plastic ties, in a scene documenting the process of restraint before killing.
** Blindfolded eyes and features indicating that the victims were arrested before being executed.
** Bodies crushed under the treads of Israeli tanks, in flagrant violation of all international laws.
** Signs of severe physical torture on many of the bodies, including fractures, burns, and deep wounds.
These crimes represent a flagrant violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention and international humanitarian law, and confirm that the occupation has used its criminal policies of extrajudicial killing and physical liquidation of Palestinian detainees and civilians.
We call for the urgent formation of an independent international committee to investigate these heinous crimes committed by the occupation, and to hold its leaders accountable for the war crimes they have committed against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

⭕*Press Release No. (1007) issued by the Government Media Office:*
🔴*480 aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip yesterday, Wednesday, including 3 cooking gas trucks and 6 diesel fuel trucks*
We confirm that 480 humanitarian aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip yesterday, Wednesday, October 15, through the crossings.
The convoy included 3 trucks loaded with cooking gas and 6 diesel fuel trucks designated for operating bakeries, generators, and hospitals, in light of the dire need for these basic materials due to the long blockade and the widespread destruction caused by the genocide waged by the "Israeli" occupation on the Gaza Strip.
We point out that the quantities that entered are still very limited and represent a drop in the ocean of needs, and do not meet less than the minimum humanitarian and living needs of more than 2.4 million people in the Gaza Strip. The Strip needs 600 aid trucks that must flow continuously and massively, including aid trucks, fuel, cooking gas, relief and medical supplies, urgently, regularly, and without interruption.
We affirm that government agencies continue to coordinate with international relief and humanitarian organizations to organize the entry and fair distribution of aid, ensuring its access to all vital facilities and to the Palestinian people.
