In the Gaza Strip, rescue teams have recovered the bodies of 135 Palestinians following the implementation of a ceasefire. These efforts have been supported by the opportunity to reach previously inaccessible areas. The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported this recovery on Saturday.
Additional bodies were retrieved from several hospitals, including 43 at al-Shifa Hospital and 60 at al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City. Other hospitals in Nuseirat, Deir el-Balah, and Khan Younis have also received casualties.
Medical officials reported 19 additional fatalities due to Israeli air strikes on Friday, alongside one individual who succumbed to previous injuries. The Ghaboun family lost 16 members when their residence was bombed. Additional casualties were reported in Sheikh Radwan and near Khan Younis.
It remains uncertain if any of these incidents occurred after the ceasefire commenced at noon local time (09:00 GMT).
Following the withdrawal of Israeli forces and the reopening of the coastal al-Rashid Street, large numbers of displaced Palestinians have started returning to their homes in Gaza City. Many families are relocating makeshift tents to the ruins of their previous residences.

Reports indicate a critical need for temporary housing solutions such as tents and mobile shelters for the returning population. The infrastructure in Gaza City has been severely damaged, leaving no functioning services, including water and electricity.
Despite the harsh conditions, many Palestinians are determined to return to Gaza City. Residents have expressed a strong desire to reclaim their homes, regardless of the challenges. There is a collective effort to rebuild and maintain a presence in the area.
For many, returning signifies both a challenge and a symbol of resilience. The return is seen as an act of hope and defiance against displacement.
Returning residents face uncertainty, with many unsure if their homes remain intact. Despite this, they express a willingness to rebuild and continue their lives in the region.
The situation in Gaza City emphasizes the ongoing struggle for stability and the determination of its residents to persevere in the face of adversity.
