Palestinian rescue workers have been on duty almost constantly since Saturday.
Palestinians rescue a young girl from the rubble of a destroyed building following an Israeli airstrike.
So many buildings have been destroyed, including many occupied by civilians, that rescue services were struggling to reach new bomb sites quickly. Hamdan said he was attending about 10 calls a day, some lasting hours. “I couldn’t stop thinking about my own four daughters,” he said, adding that all that keeps him going is the hope of finding more survivors.
Israel’s armed forces did not immediately respond to requests for comment about strikes injuring rescuers and medics.Snatching little more than an hour of sleep at a time, and no more than two hours over a day and night, Hamdan and the others in his team barely have time to eat or phone their families.
