Rescue efforts hindered amid rubble and fuel shortages in Gaza
Civil Defense teams in the Gaza Strip continue for the twenty-third day their search and rescue operations beneath the rubble of destroyed homes caused by bombing, amid complex field and humanitarian conditions. Since the start of the second phase of the project 51 days ago, crews have managed to recover approximately 470 bodies, while more than 8,000 bodies remain trapped under the debris. Rescue teams face significant obstacles, including a shortage of heavy equipment, fuel shortages, and difficulty reaching affected areas due to severe destruction and security risks, compounded by the entanglement of building debris with victims' remains, which greatly complicates rescue efforts. The Civil Defense calls on the international community to provide additional equipment and extended working hours, given the scale of destruction and the high number of victims, to ensure the continuation of humanitarian rescue operations.
