Gaza civil defence teams recovered the remains of 55 people from a single Palestinian family nearly three years after an Israeli strike destroyed their home, Al Jazeera English reported. The victims had been sheltering at their family residence when the strike occurred.
The recovery operation involved excavation at the family's former house to locate and identify remains long after the attack. Civil defence workers conducted the effort to retrieve bodies from the rubble, a process complicated by the time elapsed since the strike and the scale of destruction at the site.
