Palestinian rescue teams in Gaza face renewed horror as six civil defense members vanish in Rafah. With broken tools and Israeli restrictions, they dig through rubble - reliving trauma from before the ceasefire. Ezzedine Abu Sabha describes sleepless months of recovery work, shattered by war’s return. Omar Hilayel recalls burned, dismembered children, images haunting him even while playing with his own son. Exhausted and under fire, they mourn colleagues while racing to save others. "We’re not psychologically ready," admits Omar, but duty binds them. Their plea cuts through the chaos: We need rest, but we won’t abandon our people.
