The destruction in Gaza, marked by over 60% of buildings being damaged or destroyed, creates a toxic dust that poses long-term public health risks.
Survivors of airstrikes face exposure to toxic building materials and chemicals, significantly impacting their health long after the initial violence has subsided.
Research indicates that the health consequences of toxic exposures in war have been primarily studied in military contexts, neglecting the plight of civilians affected.
With many living amidst the rubble and others in temporary shelters, the public health crisis in Gaza exacerbated by this dust poses a dire threat to civilians.
