AhlulBayt News Agency: The Director of Medical Relief in the Gaza Strip, Bassam Zaqout, confirmed on Tuesday that there are significant difficulties in identifying the bodies being recovered from under the rubble of destroyed homes in the Strip, due to the advanced state of decomposition of many of them.
Zaqout stated that "the number of missing persons is likely to rise given the continued inability to access large areas and the lack of accurate data so far," according to the Palestine Today website.
Regarding the spread of diseases, he explained that "the Gaza Strip has become a breeding ground for the spread of various diseases, particularly respiratory infections and some skin diseases, due to overcrowding and poor health and environmental conditions."
He added that "it is impossible to confirm the presence of new viral variants without the availability of laboratories and diagnostic capabilities."
The Zionist genocide in Gaza, which lasted two years and ended with a ceasefire agreement that came into effect on October 10, 2025, left more than 71,000 Palestinian martyrs and more than 170,000 wounded, most of them children and women, with reconstruction costs estimated by the United Nations at about $70 billion.
