rubble

Hamas says it has struggled to find the remaining bodies under rubble.

Several Gazans who spoke to AFP said they were unable to locate their houses -- or even familiar landmarks -- in neighbourhoods now buried under the rubble of collapsed buildings and debris.

Hamas has said it would take more time to retrieve them from the rubble and that the task requires heavy machinery like bulldozers and excavators that aren’t currently permitted to enter the enclave.

They cleaned up the rubble around their compound.
