[The war] has generated about 68 million tons of debris, according to the U.N. Development Program, which is overseeing rubble removal in Gaza. That is equivalent to the weight of around 186 Empire State Buildings. Distributing that amount of rubble evenly across Manhattan would leave around 215 pounds of debris on every square foot.
