5 bodies found, about 10 survivors rescued in Gaza tunnel: officials | THE DAILY STAR

Emergency workers on Friday recovered five bodies and rescued around 10 survivors from the rubble of what appeared to be a tunnel in Gaza hit by Israeli bombardment, medics and witnesses said.

Raed al-Dahshan, deputy head of Gaza's civil defence, said they were still sifting through the rubble to find more bodies, hours after a ceasefire ended 11 days of Israeli air strikes on the besieged coastal enclave run by Islamist movement Hamas.

"The civil defence and the ministry of public works and municipalities are working to clear away the rubble," he said.
