A new UN report shows that the Gaza Strip has become one of the most contaminated areas in the world in terms of unexploded ordnance, with estimates indicating that more than 20,000 rockets and unexploded bombs remain across the region.
Shahab News Agency, Monday morning, quoting the United Nations, reported that search teams in the Gaza Strip are facing unprecedented conditions because, according to data, there are an average of 58 unexploded rockets or bombs per square kilometer of this small and densely populated area; a statistic that experts describe as a world record.
The presence of this volume of explosives has made any attempt to find the bodies of prisoners or victims under the rubble a dangerous and slow process.
Local teams say that every step through the rubble could lead to a new explosion, and the lack of safety equipment and engineering has multiplied the risk.
