Palestinian rescue workers

Unexploded bombs and munitions left behind by Israeli strikes across Gaza are killing and maiming Palestinians long after the attacks themselves, with families and rescue workers facing constant risk when returning to destroyed areas. Reports highlight the scale of contamination and the difficulty of clearing ordnance from rubble while displacement and shortages persist.

An Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip has killed several people, according to Palestinian rescue workers. The Israeli military said the strike targeted a senior Hamas member. The incident adds to the mounting civilian toll in the territory as the conflict continues and humanitarian conditions deteriorate.
