Gaza father and sons hand-clear rubble of destroyed home

In Gaza, a father and his sons are using only basic hand tools to clear the rubble of their destroyed home, with no heavy machinery available to them.

In the Gaza Strip, a father and his sons are working by hand to remove the debris of their demolished home, lacking access to any heavy equipment or specialized machinery.

Manual labor, no machinery

Footage shows the family using simple, basic tools to sift through and move concrete and other building material left from their former home. The process is slow and physically demanding, but the family has no alternative, as heavy machinery is largely unavailable to them in the area.

The scene reflects a wider reality across Gaza, where numerous buildings have been damaged or completely destroyed, leaving residents to undertake rebuilding and clearing efforts largely on their own, without adequate support or resources.
