Rescue and ambulance crews and volunteers in the Gaza Strip recovered 160 dead bodies from under the rubble and from the streets and roads, during the past 24 hours, which brings the number of dead since the start of the Israeli aggression on the 7th of last October to more than 15,000, including more than 6,150. children and more than 4 thousand women.

Local sources in the Gaza Strip reported that rescue crews have so far relied on manual and primitive methods to retrieve the bodies of the dead, in light of the lack of machinery and equipment to remove the rubble.
