Medics in Gaza recover 95 bodies post truce

Palestinian medics said that they had so far pulled 95 bodies from the rubble in Gaza today, following Israel's unilateral ceasefire in its war on Hamas.


The majority of the corpses were found in the northern towns of Jabaliya and Beit Lahiya and some were also found in Zeitun, an outlying neighbourhood in southwestern Gaza City, according to Dr Muawiya Hassanein, the head of Gaza emergency services.


The three locations were the sites of some of the most furious clashes between Israeli ground forces and Palestinian fighters.


The discoveries bring to at least 1,300 the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza since Israel launched its Operation Cast Lead on Hamas on December 27, he said.
