"If we look at the tens of millions of tons of rubble that needs to be removed, at the number of people, over a million people, who need some sort of permanent shelter and basic water and sanitation -- this is, by any scale, a generation of work for Gaza," said Nickolay Mladenov during a press conference in Jerusalem.
