Gaza authorities have recovered the remains of 112 people from rubble in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City, as part of ongoing efforts following over two years of Israeli strikes, according to local officials. The civil defense agency reported that the remains were found after 136 hours of manual digging, highlighting the scale of the humanitarian crisis. Among the recovered bodies were 40 children, 38 women, and seven individuals with physical disabilities, underscoring the devastating impact of the conflict on civilian populations.
The operation took place amid continued Israeli military actions in the region, with reports of strikes targeting Hamas infrastructure. Israeli forces have been conducting strikes in central Gaza, killing two people and destroying medical supply warehouses, as claimed by Israeli officials. These attacks are said to be aimed at Hamas hideouts, further intensifying the already dire conditions for civilians.
Meanwhile, Hamas has announced its intention to disarm, offering a potential path toward de-escalation. However, Palestinian residents in Gaza remain skeptical, fearing that Israeli forces will not withdraw from the territory. The situation remains tense, with both sides struggling to reach a lasting agreement.
