Recovery Efforts Continue in Gaza as Death Toll Reaches 48,467: Health Ministry
Gaza (Quds News Network)- The death toll from Israel’s genocide in Gaza has reached 48,467 with 111,913 wounded, according to the Health Ministry on Monday, with many bodies remain trapped under debris and in the streets, where rescue teams cannot reach them due to ongoing Israeli restrictions.
In the last 24 hours, 9 more bodies arrived at hospitals, including 5 recovered from the rubble, and 4 new martyrs.
Two Palestinians were killed on Sunday morning in an Israeli attack on the Shujaiyya neighborhood east of Gaza City. They were trying to assess the damage inflicted on their homes. The Israeli military claimed the bombing targeted several people laying explosives near Israeli soldiers in northern Gaza.
“The toll includes those killed in direct attacks, succumbed to their injuries, or lost their lives in the explosion of unexploded ordnance,” Gaza’s Health Ministry Director-General Munir al-Bursh noted.
Over 116 Palestinians have been killed and more than 490 others injured in direct Israeli attacks in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect on January 19, the Health Ministry said, as Israel continues its attacks on Palestinians using drone strikes and live fire, resulting in more deaths and injuries.
Dead bodies and skeletal remains have been also discovered in the besieged strip since the Israeli forces’ withdrawal.
