Gaza: Chief of Mine Action Service for UNMAS in Palestine Luke Irving warned that unexploded ordnance in Gaza poses growing risks as civilians return under the ceasefire. He stressed that clearance efforts will take time and urged support for Palestinian NGOs working to raise awareness and mitigate danger.

According to Qatar News Agency, UNMAS, active in Gaza since 2009, is expanding its operations amid rising civilian returns, a UN official stated. The agency works with multiple UN bodies to address unexploded ordnance risks. Meanwhile, UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that humanitarian teams have assessed explosive threats along Gaza's main roads.
