“The cluster of bombs, in fact, the bombs that filled the body of those bombs, are scattered over a large area after the explosion of the casing of a large bomb. Many of these little “killers” do not explode and wait for the victims … on the ground, on the roofs, on the trees … they wait for days, months, years after the end of the conflict, they wait for the unfortunate person who will activate them. “
