Gaza, MINA – Around 8,000 Palestinian bodies are believed to be trapped under the rubble in the Gaza Strip, where less than 1% of debris has been cleared after Israel’s two-year genocidal war on the enclave, according to an Israeli media report, citing a UN official

The Haaretz newspaper, citing an unnamed official from the UN Development Programme (UNDP), said the slow pace of debris removal means the process could take up to seven years.

Thousands of bodies are still buried beneath collapsed buildings across the enclave, the official added, as families continue to wait to recover and bury their relatives.

The assessment is based on data from Palestinian civil defense authorities, which have warned of severe shortages in equipment and capacity, slowing efforts to clear vast areas of destruction.
