Working together to make Gaza safer - occupied Palestinian territory

Working together to make Gaza safer
Format
In the last three years, the Gaza Strip has seen around one accident caused by explosive remnants of war every month. The large number of weapons that have been leftover in the Gaza Strip conflict as well as industrially produced and stored toxic chemicals, not only present long-lasting challenges to lives and livelihoods there, but also hinder humanitarian and development efforts.
Clearing the Gaza Strip of these dangers will take many years, possibly decades. In the meantime, educating local people about the risks is crucial.
Since 2014, the ICRC has been working with theExplosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Unit (under the General Police Directorate of Forensic Evidence) and the Palestinian Civil Defence (PCD) to make Gaza safer for its inhabitants. In addition, to increase the safety of their staff and the effectiveness of their work, the ICRC’s Weapon Contamination team provided training in risk assessment and education, and donated equipment.
