CrossFireArabia- July 3, 2026
Civil defense and forensic teams in the Gaza Strip continue to recover and bury the remains of martyrs more than two years after Israel started its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
On 1 July, the rescue teams were able to locate and recover the remains of a young woman named Orieb Al-Rayes after more than two and a half years of lying under the rubble. An Israeli airstrike destroyed her home, killing her and her family instantly. Only her identity card was recovered from her body, a scene that reflects the scale of the destruction caused by the bombing.
Forensic teams also recovered 88 bodies and remains, while documenting cases of Palestinians sifting through rubble with sieves in search of the remains of their family members. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the death toll from the Israeli occupation’s aggression on the Gaza Strip has reached 72,993 martyrs and 173,230 wounded, including children, women, and entire families, while the process of recovering the bodies of martyrs from under the rubble of destroyed homes and residential buildings in various areas of the Strip continues, two years after the aggression.
