On the first full day of peace in Gaza on Monday, rescue workers and civilians began to reckon with the sheer scale of the destruction in the Strip.
According to foreign media, the Gaza Civil Defense Agency, the Strip's main emergency response service, said it feared there were more than 10,000 bodies still buried under the 'vast sea' of rubble.
Spokesman Mahmoud Basal told the BBC that they hoped to extract the bodies of the dead within 100 days, but were likely to be delayed by a shortage of bulldozers and other essential equipment.
New images from Gaza after Sunday's ceasefire showed scenes of total destruction caused during the 15 months of the Israeli offensive, especially in the north of the enclave.
The UN has previously estimated that 60% of structures across Gaza have been damaged or destroyed, writes A2 CNN.
Although the sounds of bombing were replaced by celebrations when the ceasefire began on Sunday, the reality facing people across Gaza remains desperate.
According to the UN World Food Programme (WFP), the war has left more than two million Gazans homeless, without income and completely dependent on food aid to survive.
This aid began entering Gaza immediately after the ceasefire on Sunday, and the UN said at least 630 trucks entered the Strip before the end of the day.
On Monday, another 915 trucks entered the enclave, the UN said, the highest number since the war began 15 months ago, writes A2 CNN. (A2 Televizion)
