Children in Gaza learn to spot unexploded ordnance as Israeli unexploded bombs pose threat for years
In Gaza, children attend life-saving lessons on identifying unexploded ordnance left in their homes, as up to 15% of the missiles dropped by Israel remain unexploded, posing long-term risks. The International Committee of the Red Cross teaches them to recognise and avoid these dangers. Despite their familiarity with conflict, the toll on children has been staggering, with over 13,300 killed in the last year. UN investigator Chris Sidoti highlights the unprecedented scale of child injuries and fatalities, as children in Gaza now face the ongoing threat from explosives in their daily lives.
