Rescue workers and the ICRC recovered 112 bodies from under rubble in Gaza City's Sabra neighborhood after a two-week operation.

Gaza's civil defense agency reported on Saturday that rescue workers recovered the remains of 112 people from under rubble in Gaza City. The recovery effort, conducted over two weeks in coordination with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), involved 136 hours of intensive searching.

The operation focused primarily on the Sabra neighborhood of the city, where search crews cleared debris from destroyed buildings to retrieve victims. Emergency services have faced severe operational challenges during search and rescue efforts across the Palestinian territory amid ongoing conflict and extensive infrastructure damage. Local authorities indicate that additional casualties may still remain buried under collapsed structures across affected urban areas.
