Two Gazan Sisters Turn Rubble Into Reusable Bricks
Having been repeatedly displaced during Israeli attacks on Gaza, the sisters live in a tent, where they developed these bricks closeby. The bricks are made with crushed rubble and mixed with materials such as clay, ash, and glass powder. “After our entire city was turned to rubble, everything around us pushed us to think about a solution,” said 17-year-old Tala to the BBC. Awarded $12,500 by The Earth Prize for their creative and transformative solution, the sisters intend to use this money to produce bricks and, as 15-year-old Farah said, “participate in reconstruction themselves, instead of waiting only for outside help.” Additionally, with the money received, the girls will host workshops to help train 100 youth to create bricks for themselves. Tala continued, “We transferred something negative into something positive by refusing to see rubble only as a symbol of destruction and loss. Instead of seeing it as the end, we tried to see it as the beginning of something new.” As of right now, the Gaza Health Ministry estimates that since 16 February 2026, 72,063 people have been killed in Palestine since Israel’s brutal assault of the country.
