Amidst the devastation following Israel's military offensive in Gaza, the death toll continues to rise. Hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians have returned to find their neighborhoods reduced to rubble. The Gaza Civil Defense Agency reports the recovery of 162 bodies since the ceasefire, but fears thousands more are trapped beneath the debris. Families gather outside Nasser Hospital, mourning their loved ones and grappling with the immense loss.
The bodies of 162 people have already been found in different parts of the enclave since Sunday’s ceasefire came into effect, Gaza ’s Civil Defense Agency said
Since then, more than 47,000 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip, according to health officials in the enclave. It is feared that the “bodies of thousands” of people are still buried under rubble, the statement said, adding that crews faced difficulties in finding and recovering them because of a lack of resources, including a lack of “heavy equipment and machinery.”Outside Nasser Hospital, some of the body bags had names and details of the dead written on them. Others were left bare.
