"The bodies of 135 Palestinians have been pulled from beneath the rubble across the Gaza Strip, as Israel's ceasefire-mandated halt in its two-year genocidal war allowed rescue workers to reach devastated areas. Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that at least 135 bodies were recovered on Saturday. Dozens more were retrieved from several hospitals across Gaza, including 43 bodies taken to al-Shifa Hospital and 60 to al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City, with others arriving at hospitals in Nuseirat, Deir el-Balah and Khan Younis."
"Separately, medical officials said another 19 people were killed in Israeli air strikes on Friday, while one person succumbed to earlier injuries. Sixteen members of the Ghaboun family were killed when their home, south of Gaza City, was bombed in the early hours. Another Palestinian was killed in Sheikh Radwan, while two more died in strikes near Khan Younis. It remains unclear whether any of the attacks occurred after the truce took effect at noon local time (09:00 GMT)."
"As Israeli forces withdrew from parts of the decimated enclave and the coastal al-Rashid Street reopened, tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians began the long and painful journey back to the ruins of their homes. Al Jazeera's Tareq Abu Azzoum, reporting from Nuseirat, described scenes of children, women, elderly, cars, vans, donkey carts loaded with furniture heading towards Gaza City. Families removed their makeshift tents to take and reset them over the ruins of their destroyed homes, he said."
