Mu'awiya Hassanain, the director of ambulance and emergency in the PA health ministry, said that the bodies of Kamela Al-Attar, 90, and Halima Siyam, 62, were found under the rubble of their homes. He added that four seriously wounded Palestinians had succumbed to their wounds one in an Egyptian hospital, another in Shifa hospital and two in Khan Younis hospital. The health official underlined that the number of martyrs in the Israeli occupation terrorist forces' aggression Gaza had risen to 1326 while the wounded reached 5450 many of them suffering severe and critical wounds, which might increase the number of victims or the number of those living with permanent disability as a result of the IOF use of internationally banned weapons. Hassanain earlier stated that the ambulance and civil defense teams were still looking for victims under the rubble of the big number of devastated buildings in the Strip, noting that the immense devastation was impeding easy access to those under the debris. The IOF withdrawal from the Strip, which according to the Hebrew radio was completed on Wednesday, had revealed many humanitarian tragedies. For his part, John Ging, the director of UNRWA operations in Gaza, has said that the people in the Strip were engulfed in a deep sense of grief. He said in a press statement that around 35000 Palestinians in the Strip were now without shelter as a result of the huge destruction.
