Three people were injured when a gas canister exploded in potato chip factory east of Gaza city on Friday, medics said.
| They have potato chip factories in Gaza? |
| Those poor, suffering people have only junk food as balm for their spirits. No wonder they are so irritable. They would have had fresh fruits and vegetables grown in the greenhouses the Israelis left behind, but something happened to them, for which all juices are daily triple damned, I'm sure. |
Head of Ambulance and Emergency Services in Gaza Dr Muawiyah Hassanein said the men suffered light injuries, and noted all three were members of the Meshtaha family from Gaza city.
Ambulances rushed to take the men to hospital, while fire trucks were dispatched to douse the flames. Witnesses said the explosion was heard around the whole city, and flames engulfing the building were visible from blocks away. Locals said children thought the blast was an attack. |
