A World Health Organization official has said the agency had received estimates that some 1,000 unidentified bodies are still buried under the rubble in Gaza which are not yet included in death tolls, Reuters reports.
“We also get these estimates that there are still 1,000 plus people under the rubble which have not been identified yet,” Richard Peeperkorn, WHO Representative for the occupied Palestinian territory, said in response to a question about the death toll in Gaza.
Gaza health authorities say that more than 7,000 people have been killed by Israeli bombardments in response to cross-border attacks on Israel by Hamas on Oct 7.
