Watan-A Palestinian family of five emerged alive from under the rubble of their home in the Zaitoun neighborhood, east of Gaza City, which was destroyed by Israeli occupation airstrikes nine days ago.<\/p>\n
After this long period under the soil and debris, and with the limited resources of the Palestinian Civil Defense (Civil Protection) teams in Gaza, the hope of rescuing members of that family seemed to fade away. However, with the resilience and determination of the rescue team, the heroic saga ended successfully.<\/p>\n
During this time, the family members did not have access to food or water, and the rescue team worked using primitive tools, making the rescue operation seem like a “miracle,” according to a video released by the Civil Defense agency in Gaza.<\/p>\n
In the footage, rescue team members are seen using a rope to pull the child (around 10 years old) out from under the rubble. With extreme care and vigilance, the teams manually extracted the child, fearing any additional injuries. These scenes documented the dramatic moments of rescuing the child Ahmed, one of the family members, despite them emerging essentially as skeletal remains.<\/p>\n
