Local groups and U.N. agencies launched a “We Will Rebuild Gaza” campaign on Saturday and began cleaning debris and rubble from the streets of Gaza City after months of war.

Residents, volunteers and U.N. staff joined the effort.

One woman in a wheelchair held a sign reading “We Will Rebuild Gaza.”

Amjad Al-Shawa of the Palestinian NGO Network said the campaign would "continue until we restore Gaza, more beautiful than it was.”

Alessandro Marakic from the United Nations Development Programme said workers were helping restore "dignity" as displaced families continue to return to the city.

He said the agency was also carrying out daily waste collection and preparing winter water and wastewater plans.

Machinery and volunteers were seen clearing debris and sweeping public areas as part of the effort to revive daily life.

The clean-up comes as the region works through a 20-point ceasefire plan. The next steps call for creating an international stabilization force, forming a technocratic Palestinian government and disarming Hamas.

The fragile agreement aims to wind down the war that was triggered by the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel that killed about 1,200 people and saw 251 taken hostage.

Israel responded with a sweeping military offensive that has killed more than 69,100 Palestinians in Gaza, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

The ministry, part of the Hamas-run government and staffed by medical professionals, maintains detailed records viewed as generally reliable by independent experts.
