Gaza rescue teams:

Retrieving over 10,000 trapped bodies could take three years

30 Apr 2024 - 16:00

The rescue teams in the Gaza Strip say that recovering the bodies of thousands of people killed in Israeli strikes could take two to three years due to the very basic tools available in the besieged territory.


They said that the bodies of more than 10,000 missing people, who are not listed as fatalities, remain buried under the rubble of destroyed buildings since the onset of the Israeli genocidal offensive on the blockaded Gaza Strip on October 7.
 
The Palestinian teams added that specialized medical crews have not been able so fast to recover them.

They noted that the efforts to retrieve the bodies are impeded by the very basic search tools used to this end, and, therefore, it would take two to three years.

They warned that the pile of thousands of bodies under the rubble was causing an outbreak of diseases and epidemics, particularly given high temperature, which speeds up decomposition of such bodies.

They called upon international aid teams and organizations to put pressure on Israel to allow the entry of the equipment necessary to save the injured and retrieve the bodies of those killed in the ongoing genocidal offensive.
