In the streets of Gaza City, children play with rocket parts and the tail fins of mortar shells, oblivious to or unbothered by the danger.
According to a study by charity Handicap International, Israel has dropped around 70,000 tonnes of explosives on targets in Gaza since Hamas's October 7, 2023 cross-border attack triggered the drawn-out conflict.
