Even before the onset of this conflict, Gaza faced severe resource and capacity limitations across all sectors. Now, the situation is exacerbated as there is a shortage of the necessary machinery to clear the rubble and rescue those trapped.
Civil defense teams have been urgently appealing for the delivery of machinery to aid in their rescue efforts, particularly in extracting civilians buried under the debris. They've also reported that around 1,000 bodies remain trapped in the ruins, but they lack the necessary resources and manpower for such a large-scale operation.
In many cases, it is civilians who take on the harrowing task of removing bodies or attempting to save others trapped under the rubble. These brave individuals risk their own lives, often using their bare hands to rescue those whose homes have been targeted in the bombings.
