The Civil Defence in Gaza has said that around 8,000 bodies remain under the rubble of destroyed buildings across the territory, despite ongoing search and rescue efforts.

In a statement on Thursday, spokesperson Mahmoud Basal said Civil Defence teams are working under very difficult conditions with limited resources, which makes it hard to reach many affected areas.

He added that more than 3,000 people are still missing, with no confirmed information about whether they are alive, have died, or been detained.

He pointed out that hundreds of bodies had decomposed or lost their features during the search operations, due to the prolonged time and the difficulty of removing the rubble amidst a lack of heavy equipment and necessary technical capabilities.

Experiencing issues with this image not appearing. I suspect because it's so critical of Zionist Keir Starmer's support of and complicity in Israel's genocides.
Genocide denier and Current UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is quoted that he supports Zionism without qualification. He also confirms that UK air force support has been essential in Israel’s mass-murdering genocide.

Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza's hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.
