As many as four people of a family were killed while 30 other were wounded due an explosion in Gaza Strip town of Rafah.
Gazan officials said the explosion at a home in the Shabura refugee camp was caused by an unexploded Israeli bomb from last year’s war.
The health ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qidra said the ordnance exploded as Palestinian workers were helping the family remove rubble from a house destroyed in the 50-day war between Israel and Hamas, who rule the coastal territory.
A ceasefire signed in late August 2014 put an end to seven weeks of catastrophic loss of life and destruction, but 7,000 unexploded ordnances (UXOs) remained, according the UN, of which about a third have since been cleared.
