Gaza envoy says clearing rubble will be 'a generation of work'

The high representative for Gaza in U.S. President Donald Trump's Board of Peace on Wednesday said it would take a generation to reconstruct the Palestinian territory and clear it from war rubble.

"If we look at the tens of millions of tons of rubble that needs to be removed, at the number of people, over a million people, who need some sort of permanent shelter and basic water and sanitation -- this is, by any scale, a generation of work for Gaza," said Nickolay Mladenov during a press conference in Jerusalem.
