Medical teams retrieve over 60 bodies after withdrawal of Israeli troops from Shujaiya in eastern Gaza  

In the aftermath of a prolonged Israeli ground offensive in the eastern Gaza City neighborhood of Shujaiya, rescue and ambulance crews have recovered over 60 bodies of victims from the rubble of destroyed buildings, with many more feared trapped beneath the debris, according to WAFA News Agency.

Local sources reported that the Israeli airstrikes and ground operations have decimated more than 85% of residential buildings in Shujaiya, rendering the area uninhabitable and akin to a devastated wasteland. A medical clinic that served over 60,000 citizens was also destroyed, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.

The withdrawal of Israeli forces revealed a staggering level of destruction, reducing the neighborhood to rubble.

Entire residential blocks have been leveled, streets obliterated, and critical infrastructure targeted throughout the area.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue their incursion into Tel al-Hawa neighborhood and several others in Gaza City, systematically targeting all aspects of life. Initial estimates indicate at least 50 civilians have been killed in Tel al-Hawa, with reports of families trapped in areas surrounded by advancing Israeli military vehicles, unreachable due to ongoing bombardments.

Last Monday, Israeli forces simultaneously invaded western neighborhoods of Gaza City, issuing evacuation orders for the local population to evacuate to Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.
