1 of the Gaza “ceasefire” appears to be back on
track after the deal was thrown into disarray
this week by Israel’s continued violations of
the agreement. On Thursday, Hamas said in a
statement that it will release the three Israeli
captives as planned on Saturday after it
received assurances from Qatari and Egyptian
mediators that Israel would stop blocking the
entry of aid and other goods as stipulated in
the agreement. Earlier this week, on Monday,
Hamas had announced it would indefinitely
postpone the next scheduled batch of releases,
accusing Israel of multiple violations of the
deal—including killing civilians, repeated
ground and air incursions, and blocking the
entry of humanitarian aid and essential
supplies. Israel responded by threatening a full
resumption of the war, prompting critical
negotiations to try and salvage the ceasefire.</em></p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;"><em>In
a statement on Thursday, Hamas said, “the
discussions were characterized by a positive
spirit, and the mediating brothers in Egypt and
Qatar confirmed that they would follow up on all
of this to remove obstacles and close gaps.
Accordingly, Hamas confirms its continued
position to implement the agreement in
accordance with what was signed, including the
exchange of prisoners according to the specified
timetable.”</em></p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;"><em>There
has been no confirmation from Israeli officials
so far. </em></p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;"><em>Nearly
100 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since
the ceasefire came into effect on January 19.
The ministry of health reported today that three
Palestinians were killed in the last 24 hours
and an additional 14 bodies retrieved from under
the rubble. </em></p>
<p

with the thousands of bodies buried in the

<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">On
January 19, the day the “ceasefire” in Gaza went
into effect, 29-year-old Yousef Kassab couldn’t
wait to return to his neighborhood of Tel
al-Sultan in central Rafah to check on his home.
He left ahead of his father along with his nephew
and neighbor. But when he arrived, he couldn’t
find his house—the Israeli military had destroyed
the building and bulldozed the ground where it
once stood.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">His
neighbor’s home nearby was battered, yet somehow
still standing, so the three of them went inside
to take a break and inspect the damage, Kassab’s
father told Drop Site News. “As they were about to
leave, Yousef was near the kitchen window and saw
a strange object that blew up in his face,”
Kassab’s 53-year-old father said. “This is what
his neighbor and nephew told me after they were
severely wounded by the explosion.”</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Mohammed
arrived just minutes after the explosion to find
his son dead on the ground. “I found him with half
a head and several gashes in his body. The two
others had serious shrapnel wounds. There was
blood splattered all over the floor,” Mohammed
said. “I took Yousef and buried him in a graveyard
in Khan Younis. I couldn’t take the loss since I
lost many of my relatives and he was my only son,
he was my backbone, he was everything in my life.”</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Yousef,
a father of three, was killed by a munition fired
into Gaza that had failed to detonate, until he
came upon it in his neighbor’s house. Dr. Zaher
al-Wahaidi, the director of the Information Center
at Gaza’s Ministry of Health, told Drop Site that
Yousef was one of at least two people killed by
unexploded ordnances in Gaza since the ceasefire
began, with at least 40 others wounded.</p>

</div>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
Israeli military has fired tens of thousands of
munitions into Gaza since the war began on October
7, 2023—most of them U.S.-made—with as many as
30,000 bombs dropped in the first seven weeks
alone. The United Nations Mine Action Service
(UMAS), which has been operating in Gaza since
2009 and remained there throughout the past 15
months, has warned that between 5 to 10 percent of
weapons fired into Gaza have failed to detonate,
leaving behind deadly hazards for years to come.
Since October 2023, at least 92 people have been
killed or injured by explosive ordnance, UMAS
chief Luke Irving told reporters in a live
streamed press briefing from Gaza on January 29.
He added that informal reports suggested there
have been 24 victims of unexploded ordnance since
the ceasefire began.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">“Since
the ceasefire came into effect, people have
started returning to their homes and humanitarian
personnel can reach areas which have previously
been inaccessible,” Irving said. “We have already
received informal reports of civilians coming
across explosive ordnance in their homes, and
humanitarian convoys are finding items more and
more as we reach new areas which we previously
could not get to. These include large aircraft
bombs, mortars, anti-tank weapons, rockets and
rifle grenades.”</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Most
of the victims of unexploded ordnances since
January 19 have been in southern Gaza, according
to al-Wahadi, who pointed out that the destruction
in the north was more severe, with most of the
buildings completely destroyed and reduced to
piles of rubble. While the damage was catastrophic
in the south as well, there are more buildings
standing for people to seek shelter in or to try
and dig out the bodies of their relatives and
friends where they can come into contact with an
exposed munition.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">“Around
10 days ago, 12 people were maimed by a suspicious
object in Khan Younis,” al-Waidi said. “These
strange objects or not that visible, or sometimes
that can look like normal things. That’s why
deaths and injuries occur despite the efforts from
UNMAS and local health organizations to prevent
such incidents.”</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Despite
the enormous scale of the problem, with thousands
of unexploded munitions scattered across Gaza,
there are currently only five UMAS personnel
operating in the enclave. Israel has also blocked
the entry of heavy machinery and bulldozers into
Gaza for debris removal in violation of the
ceasefire agreement, making it harder for the long
task of clearing the rubble to even begin.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">“I’ll
give some context,” Irving said. “If you imagine
Europe post World War II—they still find items
today, so these things never quite go away.”</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Rola
Sababah, a 25-year-old displaced resident of the
Saudi neighborhood in western Rafah, returned to
her home after the ceasefire to find only debris.
She said she saw unexploded munitions around her
home and in the streets.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">“Explosives
and mines were everywhere,” Sababah told Drop
Site. “It was truly horrifying to witness this
scene because our lives were in peril every
moment. We were walking very carefully over
Israeli tank tracks to avoid harm. Mines were
apparent in certain areas and were marked with
yellow tape and signs. The agricultural land was
also full of mines, so it was impossible to walk
there. Each step was frightening as it could have
been our last.”</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">“These
unexploded bombs are also under the rubble of
people’s homes,” she added. “We saw many
casualties the last few days as people were
clearing up the rubble and looking for their loved
ones.”</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Since
the ceasefire began, Israel has violated the
agreement to such a degree—killing civilians,
blocking the entry of essential supplies,
including heavy machinery, fuel and humanitarian
aid—that it prompted Hamas to announce on Monday
it was indefinitely postponing the next planned
release of three Israeli captives, scheduled for
Saturday. Israel responded by threatening a full
resumption of the war. Critical negotiations are
currently underway to try and salvage the
ceasefire.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">“We
don’t have the basic vehicles, like bulldozers, to
remove the debris,” Raed Al-Dahshan, the director
of Civil Defense in Gaza, told Drop Site. The
Civil Defense has issued repeated public warnings
that large numbers of unexploded ordnance remain
scattered in the streets inside destroyed or
damaged buildings. “We call on all organizations
to supply us with tools and heavy vehicles to help
retrieve bodies and avoid any casualties because
of Israel’s remaining explosives. As long as we
don’t have the equipment, we are still years ahead
to clear up the rubble and recover the thousands
of bodies still missing.”</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Among
the most common victims of unexploded ordnance are
children, as they are often unaware of the danger.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">“Children,
who play outside or have fun in the streets,
always pick up these unknown objects and have
amputations and life-changing injuries as a
result,” said Dr. Alliya Qazi, an American trauma
surgeon who has volunteered in Gaza twice on
medical missions. “Clearing up mines and
unexploded ordnances normally takes years. I am
very concerned that this will be a problem and
will cause many injuries because we have seen
similar scenarios in the past. ”</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">“There
has to be a mass education campaign to warn people
against this, to not pick up items from the roads”
Qazi told Drop Site. “Even in places that have
coordinated campaigns, these objects can be hidden
and unknown, amounting to many more casualties.”</p>
