Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said there are more than 10.000 Palestinians who remain under the rubble in several parts of the Gaza Strip, especially due to the lack of equipment, especially heavy machinery, to remove the rubble and look for them, in addition to the absence of international efforts to locate them.
It added that the Civil Defense and rescue teams across the Gaza Strip lack essential equipment due to the ongoing bombing and the deadly siege, while Israel continues to prevent the entry of any equipment into the Gaza Strip.
