A tragic scene unfolded in Gaza City as dozens of bodies were collected from the ruins of the western neighborhood of Tal al-Hawa. The Al-Ahli Hospital became a hub of grief as Palestinian emergency workers unearthed the dead from destroyed streets and buildings.
Despite facing sniper fire and helicopter buzz, the hospital’s director, Fadel Naem, received the deceased and injured. The civil defense teams faced a challenging task of recovering bodies of entire families from the rubble, with spokesperson Mahmoud Basal stating that some were unable to reach homes that were burned or buried.
Israel’s military activities in the area remained unconfirmed, leaving behind a devastating aftermath of loss and destruction. Evacuation orders were issued in various Gaza City neighborhoods, reflecting the ongoing intensity of operations in the region.
The somber scenes in Tal al-Hawa echo the plight in other parts of Gaza City, showing the grim reality of conflict and its toll on innocent lives.
