Palestinians rebuild damaged homes and shops in Gaza using improvised materials such as handmade mud bricks, wood, fabric and plastic, with some construction taking place directly atop rubble, according to photographs reported by multiple outlets. The practice reflects how shortages of formal building supplies shape daily efforts to repair infrastructure after the war.
The outlets describe a context in which much of Gaza is left destroyed. Al Jazeera reports that more than 90% of Gaza lies in ruins, leaving thousands facing difficult conditions as they attempt to restore shelter and basic facilities. The Independent similarly focuses on the use of locally produced and scavenged materials amid widespread debris, describing how limited resources affect what people can build and how quickly reconstruction can proceed.
While the coverage centres on visual evidence and the materials used, it does not provide a unified account of government-led reconstruction or specific aid deliveries. Instead, both sources highlight grassroots rebuilding in the wake of extensive damage.
