GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE (OCT. 26, 2025) (ANADOLU – ACCESS ALL)

1. VARIOUS OF HEAVY MACHINERY UNITS ARRIVING IN GAZA STRIP AS PART OF REBUILDING EFFORTS GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE - OCT. 26: Heavy machinery units entered the Gaza Strip on Sunday, Oct. 26, to support reconstruction efforts in areas devastated by Israeli attacks, as authorities began clearing rubble and rebuilding infrastructure across the war-torn enclave.

The Egyptian Committee operating in Gaza delivered 12 heavy machinery units into the region via Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) Border Crossing.

The delivery follows the Committee's earlier transport of six heavy machinery units to Gaza yesterday, which included one excavator, two trucks, and three bulldozers.

On Thursday, the Gaza Government Media Office declared the enclave an “environmental and structural disaster zone” following two years of genocidal war waged by Israel, which destroyed about 90% of civilian infrastructure, amounting to roughly 70 million tons of debris.

According to the UN, rebuilding Gaza is estimated to cost around $70 billion.

The Gaza ceasefire deal was reached between Israel and Hamas in early October, based on a plan presented by US President Donald Trump. Phase one included the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. The plan also envisages the rebuilding of Gaza and the establishment of a new governing mechanism without Hamas.

Since October 2023, Israeli attacks have killed nearly 68,000 Palestinians in Gaza, most of them women and children, and rendered it largely uninhabitable.
