Civil defence says other bodies remain under rubble after partial withdraw of Israeli forces from Tal al-Hawa, Shujayea.
The bodies of dozens of Palestinians have been retrieved from the Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood after Israeli forces withdrew from parts of Gaza City, Palestinian rescue workers have said.
“The Gaza civil defence teams moved in to rescue survivors. They found dozens killed. Most of those killed are families, women, and children. Some bodies were eaten by dogs,” Gaza’s civil defence spokesperson Mahmoud Basal said on Friday.
“At least 60 bodies were counted. Some bodies were buried on the spot. Others were taken to nearby hospitals.”
Israeli forces had entered the neighbourhood this week after ordering civilians to evacuate on Monday.
“Many bodies are still under the rubble. The Israeli forces are stationed nearby and the rescue efforts are interrupted regularly,” Basal said.
