Bodies were recovered in areas from which the occupation army partially withdrew in Gaza. Local sources reported that a number of the bodies of the martyrs killed by the Israeli army were transferred to the city.

Some of these bodies were transported by "primitive methods on the back of horse-drawn carts" Since the seventh of last October, Israel has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip that has left tens of thousands of civilian victims, most of them children and women. The Israeli army began gradually withdrawing from areas in the northern Gaza Governorate, followed at the beginning of last January by partial withdrawals.
