What Happened: Gaza has been hit hard with more bombs than Hiroshima’s atomic blast. Israel has dropped over 65,000 tons of explosives on Gaza, which is three times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in World War II. This includes over 45,000 missiles and bombs, many of which are imprecise and cause widespread damage.
What you need to know: The bombs used are often unguided and banned, leading to massive destruction and severe injuries. They have damaged homes, schools, and essential services, and caused environmental harm. Many of these bombs are banned internationally, such as bunker-busting and white phosphorus bombs.
More: The situation in Gaza is dire, with a significant humanitarian crisis. The international community is being urged to take action to stop the attacks and help the people affected by this intense bombardment.
