160 bodies found under the rubble of Gaza in the last 24 hours, according to authorities

Around 160 Palestinian bodies have been found in the past 24 hours under the rubble of Gaza, while around 6,500 people are still missing, the Hamas-controlled Gaza Government Communications Office said today.

“Civil Defense teams continue to recover dozens of dead people from under the rubble and from streets and highways using manual and primitive methods, as 160 dead were recovered in the last few hours,” he said in a statement, as part of the fifth day of truce between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

On the other hand, “almost 6,500 people remain missing under the ruins or their fate is unknown, including more than 4,700 women and children”, in addition to the more than 15,000 Palestinians killed by Israeli bombings confirmed so far.

After several days of cessation of fighting, Gaza assesses the extent of the devastation caused since the conflict began on October 7.

The Israeli attacks caused material damage to around 300,000 homes, including “50,000 completely destroyed and 250,000 partially destroyed”, detailed the government office.

Likewise, according to Hamas, it is necessary to “find rapid humanitarian solutions that serve to shelter more than a quarter of a million families” who have been left homeless.

The Government also warned of the current “humanitarian catastrophe”, linked “to the arrival of winter and rains”, as well as the electricity cuts generated by the fuel shortage, which has not been able to alleviate the access of trucks loaded with gasoline in the last days.

Israel declared war on Hamas on October 7, following an attack by the Islamic group, which included the launch of more than 4,000 rockets and the infiltration of around 3,000 militiamen, who killed around 1,200 people and kidnapped more than 240 from communities nearby Israelites. the Gaza Strip.

The current truce, which began Friday in Gaza through the mediation of Qatar and the United States, will remain in force until tomorrow, although there are negotiations for a possible further extension.
