Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza

In Gaza, civilians are facing a dire situation as Israel conducts military operations in the town of Rafa, leading to evacuations and widespread destruction. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are fleeing Rafa, which is already devastated by previous conflicts, only to encounter the hidden threat of unexploded ordnance scattered throughout the area. The presence of these bombs and explosives poses a severe risk to civilians who are returning home amidst the ruins. Organizations like the UN's Mine Action Service are working to clear the rubble, but the process is slow and dangerous, with estimates suggesting it could take up to 14 years to eliminate all the unexploded ordnance.
