00:00Well, we could do an enormous amount. Now, let us be clear, over the last 15 months one
00:05of the greatest constraints beyond, obviously, the fighting, the killing, the bombardments
00:11has been access. If we are not provided with access to Gaza, we cannot deliver solar-powered
00:16water treatment plants. People need clean drinking water. The infrastructure has largely
00:21been destroyed. We have an economy that probably has lost over 60 years of its development
00:28simply by being bombarded and destroyed. So, our ability to now invest in early recovery
00:34is, one, dependent on access, secondly, on security also, and thirdly, on the ceasefire
00:39holding. We have seen a great deal of tensions continuing through the last few days, but
00:45we have also seen this extraordinary reflex of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians going
00:50back now to the places where they will, first of all, find a pile of rubble. I mean, 60-70
00:56percent of the infrastructure either completely destroyed or damaged. Most of them will not
01:00find a place that they can call home and return to. They will find a destroyed home they have
01:05to start rebuilding. One of the priorities that we have also with the Palestinians and
01:09with the international community identified is the removal of rubble. We estimate that
01:13there are over 40 million tons of rubble in Gaza alone at the moment. We need, you know,
01:20heavy equipment. We need fleets of trucks in order to begin to address this issue, but
01:25even more difficult, in a lot of this rubble there is unexploded ordnance. There are bodies
01:30that have never been removed, landmines. It's an extremely dangerous environment.
