GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Director of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, confirmed that Civil Defense crews collected more than 100 martyrs from the roads of northern Gaza Strip, most of them are remains of unidentified persons.
In press statements on Tuesday, Al-Bursh announced that there are more than 10,000 martyrs still under the rubble of houses in northern Gaza Strip.
He explained that the Israeli aggression on the northern Gaza Strip has left more than 4,000 martyrs and missing, according to what has been counted so far, and the number is expected to increase.
He pointed out that Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at ambulances while trying to rescue the wounded and retrieve the martyrs from the targeted areas during the aggression period, which led to bodies of martyrs being left on the roads for more than 90 days for dogs to devour.
For his part, the spokesman for the Palestinian Civil Defense, Mahmoud Basal, said dozens of people trapped in the northern Gaza Strip were martyred under the rubble of their destroyed homes during the 15-month aggression, as they could not be rescued due to the inability of rescue teams to respond to their distress calls, in light of the weak capabilities and the IOF targeting of ambulances and crews.
Basal further explained that rescue teams received daily distress calls from injured citizens trapped under the rubble of their homes in the northern Gaza Strip, but civil defense crews could not reach them due to being out of service and the inability to respond to humanitarian missions, due to deliberate targeting by the Israeli occupation army, which led to the increase in the number of victims.
