They found a 'bucket of lentils.' Then it blew up. The menace of Gaza's unexploded ordnance
The United Nations Mine Action Service reports that between 5% and 10% of Israeli weapons fired into Gaza over the past two years have failed to detonate, resulting in a significant threat from unexploded ordnance. This issue has led to at least 328 casualties, highlighting the ongoing dangers faced by civilians in the region. The presence of unexploded munitions poses a severe risk to safety and complicates recovery efforts in the aftermath of conflict, making it a critical humanitarian concern.
