The UN investigator tasked with monitoring the right to adequate housing said that Gaza's reconstruction could take 80 years.
Balakrishnan Rajagopal said that by January, between 60 and 70 percent of homes in Gaza had been destroyed. He added that in northern Gaza, the destruction is now nearing 100 percent.
Meanwhile, the UN Development Programme (UNDP) estimated that by May, there were over 35m tonnes of debris in Gaza.
