Rescuers have been unable to reach Palestinians trapped under the debris, Al Jazeera reports.

A Palestinian Civil Defence official said conditions across the Gaza Strip were “beyond dire”, warning that rescuers lack the resources to reach all victims of Israeli bombardment.

“There are dozens of civilians being killed in every single air strike. Hundreds are also being wounded,” Mahmoud Basal said, the spokesperson of the Palestinian Civil Defence in Gaza.

“We are doing everything we can with the minimal resources at hand. We start by digging to recover the remains of those trapped under the debris. But no matter what we do, we are not able to salvage everyone. Many remain buried under the debris.”

Basal added that Israeli jets are firing multiple missiles at a singular target, leading to more destruction and casualties.
