Gazans in Gaza shelter in damaged buildings as reconstruction efforts remain stalled, with warnings that many structures are at risk of collapse. The Free Malaysia Today and Express Tribune both report that the UN says a vast majority of Gaza’s built environment has been damaged or destroyed by the war, leaving residents with limited safer housing options.
Both outlets cite the UN assessment that about 84% of Gaza’s structures have been damaged or destroyed. The Express Tribune additionally references civil defence warnings that around 2,000 buildings face the risk of collapse. The Free Malaysia Today focuses more generally on reconstruction stalling and the immediate shelter conditions, while the Express Tribune highlights the specific scale of the collapse threat reported by civil defence authorities.
