TEHRAN (Defapress) - According to Aljazeera, the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) in its latest report, highlighted that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza has led Palestinians to return to areas that have witnessed intense military conflict, exposing them to the threat of unexploded bombs.

According to the report, 70% of those surveyed in Gaza said they had returned to conflict zones, where they now face significant danger from unexploded ordnance. 23% of respondents also reported knowing someone who has been injured or martyred by an unexploded bomb.
