Charles (Mungo) Birch, chief of the UNMAS Mine Action Programme in the State of Palestine, this week stated: \u201cGaza has more rubble than Ukraine and to put that in perspective, the Ukrainian front line is 600 miles long and Gaza is 25 miles long.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that there are over 37 million tonnes of debris to clear away in Gaza once the Israeli war on the enclave is over.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis rubble is likely heavily contaminated with UXO (unexploded ordnance), but its clearance will be further complicated by other hazards in the rubble.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s estimated to be over 800,000 tonnes of asbestos, for instance, alone in the Gaza rubble.\u201d Asbestoa is a cancer-causing mineral used in construction which requires special precautions when removing.<\/p>\n

Birch said he hoped UNMAS, which works to mitigate the threats posed by all types of explosive ordnance, would become the coordination body for mine action in Gaza.<\/p>\n

My HEART CRIES FOR GAZA.<\/p>\n

The US calls out Putin for his invasion of Ukraine BUT BLINDLY SUPPORTS THIS ATROCITY, THIS GENOCIDE THAT DWARFS UKRAINE IN DAMAGE AND DEFIES EVERY SINGLE INTERNATIONAL LAW!<\/p>\n

English Script:
\nCharles Birch: The situation in Gaza is unprecedented for the Gaza context. Gaza has more rubble than Ukraine. And to put that in perspective, the Ukrainian front line is 600 miles long and Gaza is 25 miles long. There’s 37 million tons of rubble at the latest estimates in Gaza. This rubble is likely heavily contaminated with UXO (unexploded ordnance), but clearance of this will be further complicated by other hazards in the rubble. There is estimated to be over 800,000 tons of asbestos, for instance alone in the Gaza rubble. We hope ultimately to be able to be the coordination body for mine action in Gaza and to stand up our own explosive ordnance disposal teams. In terms of funding, we’ve secured $5 million of funding. We need to continue our work for the next 12 months, a further 40 million USD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
