The remains of 171 Palestinians were discovered in the bombed-out ruins of buildings across the Gaza Strip between January 22 and 28, the United Nations reports in its latest Gaza situational assessment, according to Al Jazeera.
The search for those killed during Israel’s 15-month offensive on Gaza continues with a total of 354 bodies now retrieved since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas began on January 19, the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said, citing Gaza’s health ministry.
OCHA also reports that Gaza is strewn with an estimated 50 million tonnes of rubble and debris that could take up to 20 years to remove.
