A lot of the issues related to 9/11 was the fire. The World Trade Center was the longest burning structural fire in human history. It was not declared extinguished until December 19th, 99 days after it started. Working in the toxic burn pit from hell, day after day, is the more likely culprit for the cancer issues amongst first responders than just dust. Similar issues with burn pit exposure and cancer rates can be observed in war veterans with exposure to burn pits in war zones over the last 2 decades.
I don’t know what the Gazans exposure is to burning metal and constitution material, but if there’s extended exposure there will likely be problems in the future.
The UN estimated 800,000 tonnes of asbestos had been released.
Considering that more people died from asbestos related diseases after 9/11 than died during the attacks themselves, and that the IDF has needlessly destroyed so many empty, evacuated buildings (a war crime), this story should have been given much more prominence.

Probably, if the IDF lets any of them escape the genocide.
Combined with malnutrition, there will be a host of diseases present in the people of Gaza for the next couple of decades
100% for the next few generations. Babies born in Ukraine are still being affected by Chernobyl fallout.

Yes of course. And worse from continuous exposure.
Israel is known to use chemical warfare — so yes — very likely, if they are lucky to survive they will have health issues.

Yes, this article from October covers this:
