Palestinian children wounded by unexploded Israeli bomb

Two Palestinian children, Yazan and Jude Nour, sustained severe injuries from a blast caused by unexploded ordnance left behind by Israeli forces, according to social media footage verified by Al Jazeera’s fact-checking agency Sanad.

The explosion occurred as the two boys returned to their destroyed home in the Nassr neighbourhood, west of Gaza City, according to the post on social media. The pair was rushed to al-Shifa Hospital for treatment.

The Gaza Center for Human Rights has warned that there are 20,000 unexploded explosive devices from bombs, rockets, and shells dropped by the Israeli army over the last two years.

Returning to northern Gaza is a return ‘to nothing’

Palestinians are pretty much returning to nothing in northern Gaza and survival here looks nothing like living. It’s endurance under impossible conditions. It’s a daily struggle to meet the most basic human needs here amid destruction, amid hunger, amid the grief.

People are returning, but they’re returning here to only skeletons of these buildings. There is nothing inside, no access to water, no access to food supplies, and it’s not appropriate for sheltering, as they were given a warning that many of these buildings are severely damaged and near collapse.

We’ve seen people walk for hours, sometimes days, in search of flour, or lentils, or some canned food in order to survive these difficult conditions. Also, people are still living in the dark here. The entire power grid system has been destroyed.


Gaza civil defence helps in reburial of Palestinians killed by Israel

In a short statement on Telegram, the organisation says its crews participated in the burial of about 120 people killed in Israeli attacks at different points in the war, who were buried next to homes or on private land because of the impossibility of accessing public cemeteries.

This mass burial took place in Gaza City.

“After the Shuheibar family contacted the leadership of Gaza Governorate, a mechanism was put in place to recover the remains, transfer them to cemeteries, and carry out the burial process in the presence of a number of family elders and members”, the civil defence said.
