Gaza Strip - January 23, 2025 [WARNING: sensitive content] After the ceasefire in Gaza, the roar of Israeli bombs has disappeared after 15 months of war, but not the 42 million tonnes of rubble that today bury the dead: thousands of bodies, some of them just bones, which relatives and forensic experts are trying to identify and return to their families. Camera: EFE. FOOTAGE THE SEARCH FOR BODIES IN RAFAH, SOUTHERN GAZA. CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING TOTALS IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE: Ibrahim Talal Ibrahim Saleh, health worker: 1. ‘We call on all residents of the Rafah area to come to the “European hospital” morgue to identify their loved ones so that they can be buried’. 2. ‘These bodies have been lying in the streets and near the houses that were bombed for a long time, and they are long-decomposed bodies and skeletons. Families identify their loved ones by the features and marks they can find on them, as well as by clothing, and now the forensic team will facilitate the identification of the bodies through photographs’. 3. Since yesterday, we have received more than fifty unidentified bodies and more than half of them have been identified, and the other half are waiting to be identified. Zaki Abdel Salam, uncle of a missing person whose body was identified during the ceasefire: ‘We lost him five months ago in the Al Shabura area [Rafah area, at the southern tip of the Gaza Strip], he and three other people. We found two at that time, and the third, who is my sister's son, we didn't find him. Today, after the withdrawal of the occupation [Israeli army] from Rafah, we found this body and we identified him by his clothes, his shoes, and his trousers. Ahmed Radwan, head of press for the Civil Defence (fire brigade) in Rafah province: 1. There are still many martyrs under the rubble, and we have not been able to do our job completely because of the huge destruction and loss of resources during the war. We don't have heavy equipment to remove the rubble and recover the bodies. 2. ‘Sometimes we work for a whole day to bring out the body of a martyr who is under the rubble because of the amount of rubble, because sometimes we deal with five-story houses that collapsed on their inhabitants, so it is very difficult to recover these bodies. Ali Suleiman, from Khan Yunis, (his missing son had special needs): 1. ‘This is the last picture of my son, the last picture he took before he left. My son is very simple, but his understanding is slow. We could communicate and he knew his full name, Tamer Ali Ashur, but he didn't know anything else (...). He knew where he lived, but because of the war, the landmarks of the area changed and he could not go back because of the destruction. He didn't recognize the street and couldn't go back, and so far he hasn't come back and I'm still looking for him [cries]. Until now I am still looking for him, there is a possibility that he is in prison. I hope he is in prison. I hope he is in prison and alive. 2. This war has affected us a lot, it destroyed our houses, it destroyed our children, and it caused the loss of our children and our families. (...) It erased whole families from life. I am one of the parents who lost their children. I lost my son, I gained nothing from this war except the loss of my son. Properties and houses can be replaced, we will rebuild them. We will not move from this land because we were born here and we want to stay here. We don't want war, we want to live in peace. [Restrictions: Spain, Latin America, or the U.S. Hispanic market]
