Post-Ceasefire, Gaza Rubble Mountains Expected to Take 15 Years to Clear

Shajar al-Durregyptian Mamluk Sultana d.1257

I will take my tent, remove the rubble from the house and place my tent on the rubble, where I will live with my 10 children,

Umm Khalil told AFP

We will take the tent with us... and live in it just as we stayed here inside the tent,

she said

We will return, and whatever hardships we might face, we will return,

she said

Gaza was destroyed and rebuilt a hundred times before... Houses can be replaced, but people cannot be replaced,

she said

I am waiting for Sunday morning when they will announce the ceasefire... I will go to kiss my land,
