More than half of surveyed Gaza residents report scavenging through rubble for basic necessities, including children’s clothing, despite the significant risk posed by unexploded ordnance. A report by the Danish Refugee Council (DRC), Killing Long After They Fall, outlines the dire conditions faced by civilians in the region.
The report highlights that 70% of Gaza residents have returned to areas of active combat to search for essential items, exposing themselves to explosive remnants of war.
