Explosive engineering teams continue to dispose of what remained of the 11-day Israeli bombardment in different regions, Muhammad Miqdad, an explosive engineer under Gaza's Interior Ministry, told Anadolu Agency.
Miqdad said that if the bombs dropped by 'Israel' had exploded then, they would have caused a massacre in nearby areas.
Highlighting the poor working conditions, he called on international organizations, such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, to monitor work in the field and provide the necessary equipment.
He said that 'Israel' blocks entry of protective equipment used by bomb disposal teams in the Gaza Strip and added that this made their work harder.
