RIYADH: Gaza’s civil defense authorities on Saturday discovered 155 bodies of Palestinians in the rubble of buildings destroyed by Israel, and rescue teams reported that around 9,500 Palestinians remained missing in the besieged territory. Local authorities cataloged the catastrophic destruction of 85 percent of Khan Younis and Gaza City as hundreds of thousands of war-weary families picked their way through rubble-strewn streets, only to find many of their homes in ruins.

Rescue workers report widespread destruction and urge citizens to stay clear of dangerous objects

Displaced Palestinians return to the ruins of homes, driven by loss, defiance and the will to rebuild.
