Gaza Civil Defense: Equipment loss hampers recovery
The Civil Defense apparatus in the Gaza Strip is suffering from a significant decline in its capabilities due to the destruction of heavy equipment during the ongoing war, which hampers efforts to rescue the remains of thousands of martyrs from beneath the rubble. Out of 75 vehicles and machinery, 65 have been damaged. The Israeli escalation has resulted in the martyrdom of 146 of their personnel. Furthermore, Israeli authorities have refused to allow the entry of equipment and spare parts despite the signing of a ceasefire agreement. Rescue operations are facing severe difficulties due to the shortage of heavy equipment and restrictions on access to threatened areas. It is estimated that around 8,500 martyrs are still trapped under the rubble. Meanwhile, teams, in cooperation with the Red Cross, are conducting limited procedures to remove debris and recover victims.
