More than 250 bodies rescued since war stopped, says Gaza Civil Defence spokesman

Gaza Civil Defence spokesman Mahmoud Basal said that rescue teams have recovered more than 250 bodies from under the rubble since fighting has stopped in the strip.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, Basal said some of the bodies recovered were lying in the streets.

He said: “We are facing a significant shortage of heavy equipment to remove the rubble.

"More than 10,000 people are still under the rubble, and we don’t have the means to reach them," Basal said.
