An explosive device disguised as a food can was discovered in the city of Rafah, located in the southern Gaza Strip. The incident has raised alarm among local residents and humanitarian organizations operating in the region. According to eyewitnesses, the object closely resembled a food product and was found in an area previously affected by military activity.

As of now, official authorities have not confirmed the origin of the device, but local sources highlight its potential danger to civilians. Particular concern has been expressed about the risk of children coming into contact with such items, especially in a context of humanitarian crisis and severe food shortages.

The incident comes amid ongoing restrictions on humanitarian aid and food access in southern Gaza. International organizations continue to call for the protection of civilians and adherence to international humanitarian law.

Demining experts and emergency services are assessing the situation and have warned that additional disguised explosive devices may be present. Caution has been advised for both local residents and humanitarian workers in the area.

There are currently no official comments from parties to the conflict regarding this specific case. The international community is increasingly concerned about the risks posed by improvised explosive devices in civilian-populated zones.
