Gaza's Health Ministry announced that hospitals across the Strip have received 124 martyrs over the past 24 hours, including 117 bodies retrieved from under the rubble, along with 33 wounded.
Rescue and civil defense teams continue to face immense challenges in reaching victims still trapped beneath collapsed buildings or scattered along roads, and the destruction of key infrastructure.
According to the ministry, the total death toll from the Israeli genocide, which began on October 7, 2023, has now reached 67,806, with 170,066 others injured.
On Saturday, the National Campaign for the Retrieval of Palestinian and Arab War Victims’ Corpses and the Disclosure of the Fate of the Missing revealed that "Israel" continues to withhold the bodies of 735 Palestinians, including 67 children.
According to the campaign, 256 of these bodies are being held in what have come to be known as "number cemeteries": mass graves marked only with stones and metal plates bearing numbers instead of names. Each number corresponds to a confidential file maintained by Israeli authorities.
The campaign reported that 479 bodies have been withheld since the beginning of 2025 alone. Among them are 86 Palestinians who died in Israeli custody, 67 children, and 10 women.
The campaign condemned these practices as part of "Israel’s" ongoing and systematic violations against the Palestinian people, and accused the occupation of mishandling and desecrating the bodies of martyrs, as well as stealing remains from burial sites, not to mention the theft of vital organs.
The occupation has stolen organs from Palestinian bodies more than once during its genocidal war, as per the Government Media Office in Gaza.
