Gaza sisters win prize for turning rubble into reusable bricks
Two sisters from Gaza, Rana and Raja, have been awarded a prestigious prize for their innovative project of turning rubble from buildings destroyed in conflicts into reusable bricks. The award ceremony took place yesterday at the International Humanitarian Innovation Expo in Geneva.
The sisters, both engineers, explained that their project aims to address the severe housing crisis in Gaza, where many buildings have been reduced to rubble due to conflicts. By crushing the debris into fine particles, mixing it with a special binder, and then compressing it into bricks, they have created a sustainable and cost-effective building material.
“We are thrilled to receive this recognition for our work. Our goal is not just to rebuild homes, but to contribute to environmental sustainability and provide a solution to the scarcity of traditional building materials in Gaza,” said Rana during her acceptance speech.
The jury praised the sisters’ project for its creativity and its potential to have a significant impact on the reconstruction efforts in Gaza. They hope that their initiative will inspire other young innovators to find practical solutions to the challenges facing their communities.
Local authorities in Gaza have also expressed their support for the project, highlighting the importance of such initiatives in rebuilding the region and improving the living conditions of its residents.
The sisters’ success has garnered attention worldwide, with many viewing their project as a beacon of hope in the midst of adversity.
