The bombardment of Gaza and subsequent house-by-house and greenhouse-by-greenhouse demolitions have produced an estimated 61 million tonnes of rubble, according to figures circulating online. Of that, nearly 10 million tonnes are said to be at high risk of asbestos and heavy metal contamination, prompting commenters to describe the destruction as ecocide with long-term health and environmental consequences for the territory's residents.
Why now: Renewed attention to the scale of environmental damage and contamination in Gaza is prompting debate over whether it amounts to ecocide.
