The Palestinian Civil Defence agency estimates there are 10,000 bodies under destroyed structures across the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reported on Tuesday.
Palestinians have recovered dozens of bodies buried under the rubble in Gaza and are searching for thousands more as the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas continues to hold for a second day.
Medical sources told Al Jazeera on Monday the bodies of 97 Palestinians had been recovered in the city of Rafah in southern Gaza since the ceasefire took effect.
The Palestinian Civil Defence agency said it estimated there were 10,000 bodies under razed structures across the strip.
At least 2,840 bodies were melted and there were no traces of them, said Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Palestinian Civil Emergency Services in Gaza.
Israeli attacks on Gaza killed more than 47,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and wounded over 111,000, according to local health authorities.
