Gaza authorities have called for help in removing explosives and debris and recovering bodies

On Thursday, the Gaza authorities faced a complaint by the Israeli Government accusing them of failingto comply with the peace agreement signed by Israel for having been able to hand over nine of the bodies of the 28 hostages killed. In the words of the Palestinian territorial authorities, the Israeli offensive over the past two years has resulted in "between 65 and 70 million tons of debris "and "some 20,000 unactivated explosives" .

In a statement published on the telegram channel, the press office of the Gaza Government has stated that "the scale of destruction and debris hinders the channelling of aid and weakens rescue efforts".

According to estimates made in mid-October, 65-70 million tonnes of waste has been estimated at "homes, facilities and vital centres that have been intentionally destroyed by the occupation and have been reported to have turned Gaza into an" environmental and structural disaster zone ".

It has advanced that the withdrawal of all of them will face "significant obstacles", especially as heavy machinery is needed and "Israel has banned entry, just as it prohibited the entry of equipment or materials necessary for the recovery of the bodies  ".

The Gaza authorities have therefore called on the international community to cooperate and to press Israel to open the border crossings.

First, remove the explosives.

However, they warn of the danger posed by explosives that have not exploded before the debris. They estimate that there are about 20,000 unactivated raw materials, including "bombs and missiles." They stress that "responsible engineering work must be done that takes into account safety conditions before the debris is removed."

According to the Palestinian authorities,the rubble caused by the Israeli bombings could include the bodies of 9,500 people.

Torture and beatings

On the other hand, Israel this Thursday handed over the bodies of 30 Palestinians who died during the raids and were in his possession. 

Hamas has reported that some  of the bodies have "signs of torture and beatings; they were handcuffed or blindfolded, "he explained. He has called for an" urgent and thorough investigation "into these" heinous crimes "and for those responsible to be brought before international courts for" crimes against humanity unprecedented in modern history. "

Two killed in a bombing

Despite the ceasefire and the agreement signed by both sides , attacks and bombings have not stopped altogether in Gaza. This Thursday, two Palestinians were killed in a bombing attributed to the Israeli army.

According to local sources, the victims are two brothers killed by an air strike in Abasan al-Kabira, near the town of Jan Yunis. Emergency teams have not been able to extract the bodies from the site, as Israel's attacks on people approaching the site are dangerous.

Gaza authorities have reported that since the entry into force of the ceasefire, Israelhas killed23 people  and injured 122.

During this time, 381 bodies have been recovered from the places where the Israeli soldiers withdrew, bringing the number of Palestinians killed in these two years to 67,967 and the number of wounded to 170,179.
