The Civil Defense in Gaza announced that the number of martyrs whose remains were recovered from Rafah has risen to 137 since the ceasefire went into effect last Sunday morning.
The Civil Defense said in a statement today, Tuesday: Among the bodies that were recovered, 79 bodies were extracted since yesterday, including 21 unidentified bodies.
They added: 12 suspicious elements from the remnants of the Zionist enemy army were neutralized, in addition to opening eight main roads in the city.
The statistics indicated that the Civil Defense crews recovered eight bodies in the Gaza and North governorates, while the southern governorates of the Strip witnessed the recovery of 58 bodies, in a scene that confirms the extent of the destruction and humanitarian disaster that the region is facing.
Yesterday, Monday, the Civil Defense said in a press release: Since the beginning of the war of extermination, it has received more than 500,000 distress signals due to exposure to danger, including about 50,000 signals that the crews could not reach due to the lack of fuel, or the inability to coordinate field missions and enter the areas from which we receive distress calls due to the extreme danger and targeting by the enemy.
The Civil Defense stated that it has recovered more than 38,300 martyrs in all governorates of the Strip from the places, homes and buildings targeted by the “occupation army”, since the beginning of the aggression on Gaza.
It explained that its crews recovered about 97,000 injured from the targeted areas, and transferred 11,206 sick cases to hospitals.
It noted that the number of martyrs whose bodies evaporated and we found no trace of them is estimated at 2,840 martyrs, due to the use of weapons by the enemy army that produce temperatures between 7,000-9,000 degrees Celsius that melt everything in the center of the explosion.
It added: “We are facing difficult and arduous tasks, which are to search for the bodies of more than ten thousand martyrs, who are still under the rubble of destroyed homes, buildings and facilities, and are not registered in the martyrs’ statistics.”
The Civil Defense indicated that the enemy prevented its crews from working in the Rafah crossing area and the Tel Sultan area in Rafah Governorate, the Beit Lahia area, Beit Hanoun and Jabalia camp in the North Gaza Governorate, the North Nuseirat area and the eastern areas of the Central Governorate, and the South Zeitoun and Tel al-Hawa areas, where there are hundreds of martyrs’ bodies that have not been reached yet.
