The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that residents and local teams recovered about 70 bodies, 60 of them identified, amid obstacles, difficulties and a shortage of the equipment needed to remove the rubble that covers the remains of more martyrs.

Recovery operations continue from time to time across the Gaza Strip, carried out jointly by Palestinian bodies and the International Committee of the Red Cross, to retrieve remains and bodies from beneath the rubble of buildings destroyed by Israeli bombardment in various parts of the territory.

Israel prevents the recovery of bodies from under destroyed buildings in what is known as the "yellow line" area, which it controls east of Salah al-Din Road, the main north-south route in the Strip.

Around 8,000 bodies and remains are still believed to be under the rubble of destroyed buildings in Gaza since 7 October 2023.
