Over 10,000 Palestinians under rubble in Gaza​

More than 10,000 Palestinian men and women are missing under the rubble in the Gaza Strip, with no way to recover them or properly bury their remains, in a blatant violation of international law amid total international inaction to assist in their retrieval, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor said.

The rights group said recovering the bodies of the victims of Israel’s deadly and destructive military attacks on civilians will be extremely difficult, given the lack of heavy machinery and equipment for civil defense crews and the difficulty of their work. 

It added that the Israeli army has deliberately and methodically targeted and destroyed this machinery and equipment, while preventing any replacement equipment entry to the Gaza Strip.

The group said Israel has a pattern of systematic operations to prevent and obstruct the recovery of victims and missing persons from under the rubble.
