Nightmare in Gaza: Toxic Zionist Bombs, Deadly Debris, and Global Complicity

The people of Gaza are now in danger due to tons of explosives. They have been surrounded and under siege by explosive remnants, so the problem is no longer only the stacks of rubble surrounding them. Not to mention the harmful chemicals that pose a long-term, multi-year hazard to crops, animals, and people all at once. In addition, pregnant women face a serious risk of giving birth to damaged babies as a result of breathing in harmful gases from these unexploded materials, which also take decades to eliminate.

Scale of Destruction and Explosive Debris

According to preliminary estimates, over the two full years of continued Zionist aggression and genocide., the occupying army has dropped around 20,000 unexploded explosive weapons, including bombs, rockets, and shells. As of mid-October 2025, estimates show that between 65 and 70 million tons of rubble have accumulated due to the destruction of thousands of homes, buildings, and critical infrastructure—including roughly 71,000 tons of unexploded explosives and time bomb-forming remnants.

UNMAS Warns of Growing Threat

Following the ceasefire in Gaza, Luke Irving, the leader of the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS). mission, issued a warning that the threat of unexploded ordnance in the Gaza Strip is growing. These explosives are extremely dangerous. He stated that while the removal of armaments will take a long time, it is an essential effort to gradually return the region—recently emerged from a catastrophic two-year war—to normalcy.

UNMAS noted that the buildup of explosives is primarily due to restrictions placed on Gaza over the past two years, saying, "It was not possible to conduct large-scale surveys in Gaza." Many explosives remain on public and major highways. Although "three armored vehicles are waiting at the border to enter Gaza, which would allow for safer and broader operations," UNMAS has not yet received permission from Israeli authorities to bring in the necessary equipment.

Gaza Center for Human Rights Issues Urgent Warning

The Gaza Center for Human Rights. warned of the growing threat posed by tens of thousands of tons of explosive ordnance left by the Israeli occupation army. As of mid-October 2025, the rubble has reached between 65 to 70 million tons, including approximately 71,000 tons of time bombs in the form of explosives and unexploded fragments.

These massive amounts of debris, combined with explosive ordnance, worsen conditions and place Gaza at the center of one of the greatest humanitarian crises in modern history. The organization called for a comprehensive national strategy for rubble management in cooperation with international organizations. This plan should include risk assessment, safe recycling, and temporary storage of usable materials.

Return of Displaced Civilians Amid Global Silence

Despite the risks, many displaced residents have chosen to return to their homes after the ceasefire, putting their lives in danger. The international community's silence about this terrible reality amounts to indirect complicity in the ongoing suffering of Gaza's citizens, who now live amid death-filled ruins.

Genocide and International Complicity

Despite international appeals and directives from the International Court of Justice. to halt it, the occupying state has been carrying out genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, with assistance from the United States and Europe. This genocide has included killing, hunger, devastation, displacement, and incarceration.

Horrifying Estimates of Gaza's Level of Devastation

Al Jazeera. covered the extent of the catastrophe and devastation in Gaza. To help audiences visualize the enormity of the destruction, the program includes startling analogies:

• If the debris were loaded onto trucks carrying 20 tons each, the convoy would stretch 30,000 kilometers—three times the distance between Washington and Gaza.
• The debris equals the weight of 5,000 Eiffel Towers (each weighing 10,000 tons).
• The rubble could construct a wall as long and wide as the Great Wall of China, spanning 21,000 kilometers.
• It could also build eight pyramids the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza, which weighs roughly 6.5 million tons.
