Rescuers continue to search for Palestinians trapped under rubble in north Gaza

Operations to rescue people under the rubble are still ongoing. It is an extremely difficult process, according to civil defence crew members, paramedics, and volunteers we spoke to, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Rafah, Gaza.

This is not only the case in Beit Lahiya, where three people were killed in a home, but also in areas south of Gaza City, including the Zeitoun neighbourhood.

There, another home was destroyed, killing three more people from one family and leaving others trapped under the rubble. The type of bombs that were used there flatten entire buildings, according to civil defence crew members on the ground.

In Khan Younis in southern Gaza, artillery shelling is ongoing, while attack drones and surveillance drones are in the air. It is getting very dangerous for people there, who in the past were targeted by these drones when they tried to move.
