Israel dropped over 85,000 tonnes of bombs on Gaza since Oct 2023

Since the beginning of the Israel and Hamas war on October 7, 2023,  Israel have dropped more than 85,000 tonnes of bombs on the Gaza Strip, according to the Palestinian Environment Quality Authority.

This came in a report on the occasion of the “International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict”, which



falls on November 6 of each year.

In a statement, the authority said that the amount of bombs dropped on Gaza surpasses that of World War II.

“Israel’s continuous bombing has led to the destruction of vast areas of agricultural land and the contamination of the soil with toxic chemicals that will hinder agriculture for decades.”
