Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City's Tel al-Hawa neighborhood received dozens of bodies on Friday morning, as civil defense workers continued to retrieve the dead from the rubble of destroyed streets and buildings. Hospital director Fadel Naem confirmed that both deceased and wounded individuals were brought to the hospital from Tel al-Hawa, which had recently resumed operations after a temporary evacuation due to ongoing conflict in the area.
According to Mahmoud Basal, the director of Civil Defense in Gaza, approximately 60 bodies, including entire families, have been recovered in Tel al-Hawa. The victims appeared to have been killed by artillery fire and aerial bombardment. Basal mentioned that some bodies were found decomposing or partially mauled by dogs, as rescue efforts faced challenges in reaching certain homes.
