The Gaza Government Media Office has reported that at least 12,000 bodies remain trapped under the rubble following Israel's devastating assault on the Gaza Strip. Due to Israeli restrictions on heavy machinery entering Gaza, recovery efforts have been severely hampered. Among those trapped are Israeli hostages who were captured by Hamas but later perished when Israeli airstrikes collapsed buildings on top of them. If Israel continues to impose these restrictions, their bodies cannot be returned to Tel Aviv. Over the past 15 months of Israeli aggression, at least 47,583 people have been confirmed killed in Gaza, including 17,000 children. After failing to eliminate Hamas and secure the release of its hostages, Israel has entered into a ceasefire agreement. However, despite the agreement, Israel continues to block the entry of heavy equipment needed to clear debris and relief trucks carrying essential supplies.
