In the written statement made by the General Directorate of Civil Defense in Gaza, it was stated that search and rescue teams were working in the rubble of a house that was destroyed during the attacks carried out by Israeli warplanes on the Ed-Derec Neighborhood in Gaza City.

In the statement, it was stated that the bodies of 28 civilians were found in the rubble of the house belonging to the Palestinian Abu Nume family.

According to the information obtained by the AA correspondent in the region from sources close to the Abu Nume family, the house in Derec District in Gaza city was bombed in October 2023.

It was reported that the remains of 101 Palestinians were found as a result of 17-day work in the rubble of houses destroyed as a result of Israeli attacks in the north of the Gaza Strip yesterday.

In the second phase of the "Rescuing the Bodies of Martyrs" project, which was launched by the General Directorate of Civil Defense on July 19, it is planned to carry out work in the northern and central part of Gaza and the rubble of 147 collapsed buildings in Gaza city.

In this phase, which includes approximately 800 hours of work, it is aimed to find the bodies of 1072 people estimated to be under the rubble.

In the first phase of the project, which started at the end of November 2025, 500 hours of work were carried out in the rubble of 54 houses and buildings, and the remains and remains of 333 of the 559 people considered missing were recovered.

According to government institutions and Palestinian groups in Gaza, in the first phase of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, which has been in effect since October 10, 2025, it was envisaged that Israel would allow the necessary heavy construction machinery and equipment to enter the region, but Israel did not fulfill this obligation.

More than 74 thousand Palestinians lost their lives, more than 175 thousand people were injured and 90 percent of the civilian infrastructure was damaged in Israel's nearly 2-year-long attacks on the Gaza Strip, which amounted to genocide.

The United Nations estimates the cost of rebuilding Gaza at approximately $70 billion.
