GAZA: Rescue crews recovered 160 bodies in the past 24 hours from under the rubble and streets in the Gaza Strip.
This brings the death toll since the start of the Israeli aggression on Oct 7 to more than 15,000 people, including more than 6,150 children and over 4,000 women, according to Palestinian news agency WAFA.
WAFA correspondents in Gaza reported that rescue crews have so far relied on manual and primitive methods to dig out the bodies, in light of the lack of machinery and equipment to remove the rubble.
Non-final data indicated that about 6,500 missing persons are still under the rubble, or their fate is still unknown, including more than 4,700 children and women, it reported.
Since the start of the temporary humanitarian truce on Friday, rescue and ambulance crews, as well as citizens, have been trying to recover as many bodies as possible with whatever capabilities they have.
The last five days revealed the horror of the humanitarian catastrophe that befell the Gaza Strip, as 300,000 housing units were damaged as a result of Israeli air, land and sea bombing, including 50,000 housing units that were completely destroyed.
Israeli forces continue attacks on Palestinians
Despite the truce, the occupation prevented citizens displaced in the south of the Gaza Strip from returning to their cities and towns in the North, as the occupation forces stationed on Salah al-Din Street fired bullets at citizens who tried to reach the north to inspect their homes and search for their missing family members, which led to the killing of three people, and injury of others.
In the occupied West Bank, WAFA reported two Palestinians, including a child were injured by Israeli forces's live bullet in a confrontation after Israel carried out a large-scale Israeli military incursion into the city of Jenin and its refugee camp.
Forces also fired stun grenades and tear gas canisters toward residents and their homes across several neighborhoods in the city, causing several people to suffocate, which necessitated their transfer to hospital.
A large military force, accompanied by a bulldozer, stormed the city from various directions, broke into several homes, deployed their snipers on the rooftops of high buildings, and imposed a curfew on its camp from all directions.
