<p

CITY\u2014Mohammed Nour returned with his family from
Khan Younis to Gaza City on October 13th, three
days after the ceasefire went into effect, along
with thousands of other Palestinians. \u201cAs soon as
they announced the truce, we came back
immediately,\u201d Nour told Drop Site. \u201cFrom the
moment Gaza City opened, we were among the first
to return, because of everything we had suffered
in the south.\u201d</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
family set up a tent just behind Al-Shifa hospital
in an area that\u2014like much of the city\u2014 was filled
with large mounds of rubble and debris following
Israel\u2019s concentrated aerial bombardment and
shelling. \u201cIt was around 10 or 11 a.m. I told the
kids, \u2018Go bring some cardboard, some wood, and a
bit of plastic so we can light a fire.\u2019 We wanted
to cook something for the kids to eat,\u201d Nour said.
\u201cWe had just arrived and had nothing to burn and
light a fire.\u201d</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">His
11-year old son, two nephews, and two other boys
their age walked about 10 meters from the tent and
began searching through the rubble. \u201cAs soon as
one of the kids pulled a piece of wood, something
exploded. The children were thrown into the
air\u2014all of them,\u201d Nour said. \u201cI suddenly saw
people flying\u2014I didn\u2019t even realize they were our
children. I ran toward them and found my son
hanging on the fence, and my sister\u2019s son and my
brother\u2019s son\u2014all of them hanging there,\u201d he
added. \u201cTheir condition was terrible, terrible.\u201d</p>

<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Across
Gaza, underneath the millions of tons of torn
concrete, and twisted rebar, lie not only
thousands of bodies, but thousands of unexploded
munitions.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Nour\u2019s
sister, Ghadir Al-Anqar, rushed outside when she
heard the blast. The air was filled with dust.
\u201cWhen I came out of the tent, my son was running
and screaming. I didn\u2019t recognize him\u2014he was
completely covered in shrapnel. His entire body
was [cut with] shrapnel, and his face was
blackened with ash and debris,\u201d Al-Anqar told Drop
Site. \u201cI couldn\u2019t recognize him\u2014the only way I
knew it was him was by the color of his shirt, his
blue shirt.\u201d They picked up the children and
carried them in their arms to Shifa hospital.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">When
they arrived at Shifa hospital, Nour\u2019s son Zein\u2019s
T-shirt was shredded by the blast and one of his
pant legs had been ripped off, according to a
video filmed by Ahmed Hattab. His clothes were
covered in blood and his legs had large gashes
where his flesh had been torn out. Al-Anqar\u2019s son
Joud\u2019s face was blackened by dust, and the front
of his blue T-shirt was soaked through with blood.
Part of his calf was shredded. They were neither
screaming nor crying as they were carried into the
hospital\u2014they were in shock. The three other boys,
who were less severely wounded, were also brought
in and laid down on the hospital floor or on metal
cots without mattresses.</p>

12-year-old son Joud (in a dark blue T-shirt),
arrive at Shifa hospital in Gaza City on October
13, 2025. (Video by Ahmed Hattab.)</h6>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
next day, the United Nations Mine Action Service
(UNMAS) called attention to the incident.
\u201cYesterday, five children were reportedly injured,
two of them very seriously, while encountering
unexploded ordnance in rubble near Al-Shifa
Hospital in Gaza,\u201d the group said in a statement.
\u201cFollowing the ceasefire in Gaza, the explosive
ordnance threat remains. As hundreds of thousands
of displaced people and humanitarian personnel are
on the move, the risk of encountering explosive
ordnance increases.\u201d</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">UNMAS
had documented at least 52 Palestinians killed and
267 wounded by explosive ordnance in Gaza since
October 2023. \u201cWe expect that this figure is
significantly underreported,\u201d Luke Irving, the
head of UNMAS in the Occupied Palestinian
Territory, said in a press conference earlier this
month. \u201cUnfortunately, we can estimate that many
more people have been injured or killed by
ordnance littering Gaza over the past two years.\u201d</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Israel
has dropped tens of thousands of tons of mostly
U.S.-made bombs on Gaza, more than the combined
weight of the bombs dropped on London, Dresden,
and Hamburg in all of World War II. And UNMAS has
warned that between 5-10% of weapons fired into
Gaza have failed to detonate, effectively turning
the enclave into a minefield.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">In
the press conference, Irving said UNMAS was
\u201cdeeply concerned about the heightened risk these
items pose in the coming days, weeks, months and
years\u201d as people in Gaza sort through the rubble
and begin to rebuild.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;"><span>The

moz-do-not-send="true">reported</a><span> that
the Israeli Air Force was aware of at least
3,000 unexploded bombs in Gaza as of April 2025.
So far, UNMAS has been able to identify at least
560 unexploded ordnance in areas the group has
been able to access. \u201cHowever, we will not know
the full extent of the contamination in Gaza
until and unless a comprehensive survey can take
place,\u201d Irving said. \u201cThe threats will increase
as people move around, and especially when
construction, reconstruction, and recovery
efforts start.\u201d</span></p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">In
Gaza City on Tuesday, a solitary bulldozer worked
to clear piles of rubble off of Al-Nasr street to
make it passable again, pushing the debris to the
sides in large mounds before scooping it up and
dumping it into a waiting truck. Residents used
brooms to sweep smaller bits of concrete away from
the fronts of the few standing buildings. Men
scavenged through the rubble, searching for
firewood, or anything they could salvage.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">\u201cHonestly,
we were shocked by the extent of the damage
between the first displacement and the second.
After the second displacement, the destruction was
total. The area looked terrifying, like something
out of a horror movie,\u201d Mohammad Mushtaha, a
displaced resident who returned to Gaza City after
the ceasefire, told Drop Site. \u201cThe streets were
all blocked\u2026We walked until we reached home. It
was difficult because of the rocks and metal.
There were also things like explosives or remnants
that hadn\u2019t detonated, so we were afraid to
walk\u2014scared of what might be on the roads.\u201d</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Along
with its continued bombings and shootings of
Palestinians on an almost daily basis since the
ceasefire went into effect, Israel has prevented
the minimum amount of humanitarian aid, equipment,
and resources from entering Gaza in violation of
the agreement, making it nearly impossible to
begin dealing with the vast amounts of unexploded
ordnance that have turned Gaza\u2019s geography into a
lethal landscape.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">\u201cWe
are talking about 71,000 tons of explosives
currently present in the Gaza Strip,\u201d Mahmoud
Bassal, the spokesperson for Civil Defense, told
Drop Site. \u201cThese explosives still exist, and at
any moment they could explode,\u201d he said. \u201cIt could
happen when children tamper with them, or while
civil defense teams work to recover bodies. A
collision might happen and could lead to an
explosion.\u201d</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Civil
Defense teams are not tasked with removing
unexploded ordnance but do help in coordination
efforts and are the primary group in Gaza working
on trying to retrieve the thousands of bodies
buried under the rubble. \u201cThe Israeli occupation
has killed 90 percent of the engineering unit\u2019s
personnel that used to operate in Gaza. The
occupation destroyed the resources needed to
transport these bomb remnants from one area to
another,\u201d Bassal said. \u201cThe current demand now is
that specialized teams must be formed to address
this issue, and they must be provided with the
necessary equipment, capabilities, and vehicles to
transport these highly explosive and large
missiles that remain in Gaza.\u201d</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">He
added: \u201cIt is truly intolerable for these
explosives to remain inside the Strip. [Along]
with the corpses, with the rubble\u2026 there are
explosives that threaten the lives of the
population, and this is indeed a major problem in
the Strip.\u201d</p>

<p

than two weeks after the explosion, Zein and Joud

bodies are covered in cuts and burns, and their
legs and parts of their hands and fingers are
wrapped in thick bandages.</p>
<p

wish it had been me instead of the children. It
was a tragedy. This was one of the violations of
the occupation,\u201d Nour said. \u201cIt was extremely
difficult for us. Seeing the children hurt was
like a thunderbolt hitting our hearts.\u201d</p>
