On day 210 of the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza, "Israel" committed three massacres against Palestinian families across the Strip, killing 26 people, and injuring 51.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said that the total number of Palestinians killed since the aggression on Gaza began last October has risen to 34,662, with 77,867 wounded.

As cited by the UN Aid Coordination Office, OCHA, the Palestinian Civil Defense authorities said that over 10,000 bodies are still trapped under the rubble across Gaza.
OCHA said that "with the current primitive tools available, it might require up to three years to recover the bodies," warning that rising temperatures are expected to accelerate the decomposition of bodies, heightening the risk of disease transmission and increasing concerns about public health.
Entire residential neighborhoods and areas have been completely destroyed by "Israel" since last October, the UN aid office said, noting that Gaza was bombed "from air, land, and sea."

Palestine's Civil Defense said that many martyrs are trapped under rubble and on roads inaccessible to ambulances and civil defense crews due to lack of means and equipment, in addition to the occupation preventing rescue teams from reaching victims' positions.
The civil authority urged in a statement earlier this week that UN agencies and all relevant stakeholders urgently intervene to allow the entry of needed equipment, including bulldozers and excavators, to avert a public health catastrophe, facilitate dignified burials, and save the lives of injured people.
