7 million tons of explosive Zionist shells threaten lives of Gaza population

GAZA, April 29 (YPA) – The Gaza government media office issued on Monday a warning about repeated explosions of Zionist enemy army bombs left in Palestinian homes, particularly those in the form of cans.

The head of the office, Salama Maarouf, stated in press statements that about ten percent of the missiles and bombs dropped by the enemy army, estimated at more than 75 million tons of explosives, did not explode, according to UN estimates confirmed by reports of the relevant government agencies.

More than seven million tons of shells and bombs are in the streets, lands, and homes, among the rubble, and under the rubble in various areas of the Gaza Strip, Maarouf added.

He warned that these tons of explosives pose a severe danger that will not end even with the end of the aggression unless they are removed.

Maarouf called on the people not to tamper with these objects, to pay close attention to the canned food that the occupation army leaves behind, and to communicate with civil defense crews and authorities specializing in explosives engineering.

The head of government media office called on the international community to bring in specialized engineering teams and explosives experts and provide local competent authorities with the necessary technical capabilities.
