Bombs buried in Gaza rubble put at risk thousands returning to homes, say experts (The Guardian)

Explosive disposal experts and aid officials have warned that tens of thousands of people in Gaza will risk death or injury as they try to return to their homes this weekend, navigating rubble filled with unexploded shells and bombs. Following the ceasefire, Israel must allow movement from southern Gaza to the north, where the destruction has been heaviest. Amjad Shawa, director of the Palestinian NGOs Network in Gaza, emphasized the danger, noting that 50 million tonnes of debris could contain deadly unexploded ordnance. Efforts are underway to raise awareness, especially among children, to avoid dangerous items and report them to authorities.
