UN warning about the danger of unexploded bombs in Gaza

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs OCHA announced in its latest update that Palestinian children are facing death and serious injuries due to unexploded bombs scattered throughout the Gaza Strip.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said that in the latest incident on June 29, a 9-year-old girl was reportedly killed and three others injured by an unexploded bomb blast south of Khan Yunis. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs added that eight more children were injured in two recent incidents involving unexploded bombs.

According to the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), at least 10 percent of the munitions are potentially ineffective, meaning that many of the hundreds of thousands of tons of war debris in Gaza contain explosives.

The state media office in Gaza has estimated that at least 75,000 tons of explosives have been dropped on Gaza since October.

This news is published while only one month after the war against the Gaza Strip, the European-Mediterranean Human Rights Watch announced that Israel dropped explosives equivalent to 2 nuclear bombs on the people of Gaza. At the same time, the Zionist regime admitted to dropping a thousand bombs on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the aggression in this area.

Earlier, the Danish publication Information considered the thousands of bombs and rockets that did not work as a great danger and a serious challenge for the residents of the Gaza Strip and warned of its dire consequences.
