'Booby-trapped food' deprives boy of limbs
2024-05-03
[GEO.TV] In what can be called war crimes, a Paleostinian boy lost his limbs while opening "booby-trapped food" in man-made famine-hit Khan Younis.

According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, "A 14-year-old boy was maimed and sustained limb amputations after opening a booby-trapped can of food found while looking for his belongings in his house that had been shelled by Israeli forces in Khan Younis."

The boy, who was maimed in the blast on Monday, is just one of "many people recently injured" from aid supplies rigged with hidden explosive charges, the UN body added.

#2  The "booby trapped food" was probably a paleo IED left to do precisely this.
