According to a spokesperson for Gaza's civil defence crew, efforts to reach trapped victims beneath the rubble of bombed structures are encountering significant challenges.
The spokesperson, speaking at a press conference outside Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir el-Balah, noted that Israeli forces are actively targeting and destroying the heavy equipment crucial for rescue operations.
Furthermore, a severe fuel shortage is exacerbating the situation, potentially leading to a complete cessation of rescue efforts. The spokesperson emphasized that hundreds of injured Palestinians remain buried under debris, with the number of victims increasing steadily.
