Thousands of Unexploded Bombs Dropped by Israel Have Turned Gaza into a Minefield

ISRAEL IS CONTINUING TO BOMB GAZA, IGNORING THE CEASEFIRE!
EXCERPTS:
Across Gaza, underneath the millions of tons of torn concrete, and twisted rebar, lie not only thousands of bodies, but thousands of unexploded munitions.
The next day, the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) called attention to the incident. “Yesterday, five children were reportedly injured, two of them very seriously, while encountering unexploded ordnance in rubble near Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza,” the group said in a statement. “Following the ceasefire in Gaza, the explosive ordnance threat remains. As hundreds of thousands of displaced people and humanitarian personnel are on the move, the risk of encountering explosive ordnance increases.”
UNMAS had documented at least 52 Palestinians killed and 267 wounded by explosive ordnance in Gaza since October 2023.
Israel has dropped tens of thousands of tons of mostly U.S.-made bombs on Gaza, more than the combined weight of the bombs dropped on London, Dresden, and Hamburg in all of World War II. And UNMAS has warned that between 5-10% of weapons fired into Gaza have failed to detonate, effectively turning the enclave into a minefield.
The Israeli news site, The Marker—the financial supplement to Haaretz—reported that the Israeli Air Force was aware of at least 3,000 unexploded bombs in Gaza as of April 2025. So far, UNMAS has been able to identify at least 560 unexploded ordnance in areas the group has been able to access.
Along with its continued bombings and shootings of Palestinians on an almost daily basis since the ceasefire went into effect, Israel has prevented the minimum amount of humanitarian aid, equipment, and resources from entering Gaza in violation of the agreement, making it nearly impossible to begin dealing with the vast amounts of unexploded ordnance that have turned Gaza’s geography into a lethal landscape.
“We are talking about 71,000 tons of explosives currently present in the Gaza Strip,” Mahmoud Bassal, the spokesperson for Civil Defense, told Drop Site. “These explosives still exist, and at any moment they could explode,” he said. “It could happen when children tamper with them, or while civil defense teams work to recover bodies. A collision might happen and could lead to an explosion.”
Civil Defense teams are not tasked with removing unexploded ordnance but do help in coordination efforts and are the primary group in Gaza working on trying to retrieve the thousands of bodies buried under the rubble. “The Israeli occupation has killed 90 percent of the engineering unit’s personnel that used to operate in Gaza. The occupation destroyed the resources needed to transport these bomb remnants from one area to another,” Bassal said. “The current demand now is that specialized teams must be formed to address this issue, and they must be provided with the necessary equipment, capabilities, and vehicles to transport these highly explosive and large missiles that remain in Gaza.”
He added: “It is truly intolerable for these explosives to remain inside the Strip. [Along] with the corpses, with the rubble… there are explosives that threaten the lives of the population, and this is indeed a major problem in the Strip.”
BREAKING: Judge Orders Trump Administration to Use Contingency Funds to Cover SNAP
NOTICE THAT IT IS DEMOCRATS FIGHTING TO FEED HUNGRY AMERICANS!
The administration argued it could not use a $5 billion contingency reserve to sustain benefits, reversing a pre-shutdown USDA plan to tap those funds. The plaintiffs, a coalition of 25 states and the District of Columbia, countered that not only could those funds be used, but that federal law requires it, citing an additional $23 billion reserve that could be legally accessed to keep the program running.

NPR FRESH AIR TERRY GROSS: RUSSELL VOUGHT
Complacency is how we lose
LET'S PROVE THAT PEOPLE CAN WIN OVER THE WEALTHY OLIGARCHS
LIKE ANDREW CUOMO!
IF WE CAN WIN IN NEW YORK CITY, WORKING CLASS PEOPLE CAN WIN
ACROSS THE NATION & RESTORE AFFORDABILITY....
This past Sunday night in Queens, over 13,000 New Yorkers gathered at the “New York Is Not For Sale” rally to hear from Zohran Mamdani, Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez and Bernie Sanders.
DONATE NOW TO HELP US BRING HOME VICTORY FOR ZOHRAN »
Here’s what they said — and what it means for us:
- “When you insist on building a coalition with room for every New Yorker… you create a tremendous force.” — Zohran Mamdani
- We’re up against “an insufficient, eroded, bygone political establishment — who, this time, is in the form of Andrew Cuomo — whose pursuit of power has blinded them from what that power is supposed to be used for in the first place: to put the working people of New York City first.” — Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez
- “In the year 2025, when the people on top have never, ever had so much economic and political power, is it possible for ordinary people, for working class people, to come together and defeat those oligarchs? You’re damn right we can.” — Bernie Sanders
These are incredible, powerful words that capture the magic of the movement we’ve built and the momentum we have. Here’s the truth: momentum matters. A packed stadium matters. But none of that guarantees victory.
Yes, Zohran is leading in the polls. But we cannot treat this like a victory lap. Andrew Cuomo was leading in all the polls in June, but we beat him by outworking him and his right-wing billionaire donors. We can’t allow him to do the same to us.
We need to run this race like we’re five points behind. Because in an election this close, that’s the only kind of urgency that wins.
Your donation will power the final sprint: reaching the neighborhoods we need to reach with research-backed ads and mail pieces and making sure the rally’s energy turns into real votes.
The rally in Queens was huge — but the real work begins after the speeches.
We’re facing opposition backed by money, by machine politics, by “we’ve always done it this way.” The rally showed we’re different. But showing up to rally is not enough on its own.
We need you. We cannot allow ourselves to be outworked just because it looks like we’re ahead. We need every voter contacted and to do that we need every last dollar you can spare to deliver a mandate for Zohran on November 4th. Let’s leave no doubt that we are ready to lead this city.

excerpt:
Anyone With Health Insurance
The fight over extending Covid-era subsidies for Obamacare is shining a spotlight on a growing problem: the staggeringly high cost of health insurance in America. The United States has the most expensive healthcare system in the developed world and the only country without universal healthcare, according to the World Health Organization.
Employer-provided insurance is the most popular, covering 154 million, or 54% of people with insurance. Public insurance, which includes Medicare, Medicaid, and Veterans Health Care, accounts for about 36%. Ten percent get insurance through the Affordable Care Act. Eight percent of Americans are uninsured, an historic low.
