The Civil Defense Service in the Gaza Strip has reported alarming statistics regarding the humanitarian crisis in the region, revealing that 1,760 bodies have been vaporized due to internationally banned weapons. This tragic revelation underscores the severe impact of the ongoing conflict and the challenges faced by rescue teams. The statement highlights that approximately 10,000 martyrs are still trapped under rubble, as civil defense crews struggle to access these areas due to restrictions imposed by occupation forces.
The situation is dire, with 82 civil defense personnel having lost their lives while attempting to respond to the crisis. The infrastructure of Gaza has been devastated, with over 80% of urban structures and 90% of critical infrastructure destroyed by Israeli airstrikes and artillery. The Civil Defense Service calls for urgent assistance, including fuel and equipment, to continue their rescue operations amidst an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe that has claimed more than 40,000 lives, predominantly affecting women and children.
