Gaza recovery crews unearth 50 bodies from rubble in Beit Lahia

A recovery crew in northern Gaza has unearthed 50 bodies from the rubble of a building destroyed by an Israeli strike in October 2024, with 20 family members still missing. The mission highlights the immense scale of need in the war-torn region.

- The strike killed more than 132 members of the extended Abu Naser family. - The crew used only one functioning excavator and relied on smell to locate corpses.

- Gaza health officials report over 73,000 Palestinians killed in the war. - About 8,000 bodies are believed to still be buried under debris across Gaza.

The recovery effort underscores the ongoing humanitarian crisis and the challenges of honoring the dead amid the conflict.
