Aljazeera – At least 16 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks or recovered from beneath rubble over the past 48 hours in Gaza, according to health officials.

Gaza’s Ministry of Health said on Saturday that hospitals across the besieged enclave had received the bodies of 16 Palestinians, seven of whom had been killed in recent attacks by Israeli forces, while nine were recovered from under the rubble of destroyed buildings.

The ministry said that 16 people had been injured over the same period, adding that more victims remain under the rubble as ambulance and civil defence personnel have been unable to reach them.
