Red Cross says difficult to recover bodies amid Israeli restrictions

The International Committee of the Red Cross said the search for bodies under rubble in Gaza, as Israel has restricted the entry of essential recovery equipment, reported Syria based news agency, Sana.

“With the massive devastation in Gaza, this is a complex operation that requires time, adequate tools, and coordinated efforts from multiple actors,” said an ICRC communication officer.

Authorities estimate that more than 9,000 people remain trapped under destroyed buildings across the Gaza Strip. –Agencies
