The devastated city exposed itself as the visitors drove into different sectors. The main streets were busy with people walking, driving, and shopping. Shops were open, though many are still unusable because of the damage in November. Independent journalists and NGOs have reported that over 65% of the homes in Fallujah are destroyed or so badly damaged as to be unlivable. The team confirmed massive destruction of the homes and businesses in the city. A member of the reconstruction team for the city told the group that US and Iraqi security forces attacked 30 of the 55 mosques in the city and destroyed most of the electrical and water infrastructure.
