Desperation leads Gaza residents to risk deadly hazards for basic goods
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.
