Mass Funeral Held in Gaza for 100 Palestinians, Including 62 Children, Whose Bodies Were Recovered From the Rubble
Mourners buried the remains in collective graves as civil defence teams recovered bodies from destroyed buildings, while Gaza officials said 6,000 people remain missing.
- On Sunday, Palestinians in Gaza City held a mass funeral for 100 people, including 62 children, whose remains were recovered from rubble destroyed in 2023 Israeli airstrikes.
- Recovery efforts remain painstaking because Israel and the US continue to block construction equipment from entering Gaza, leaving civil defense teams without heavy machinery needed for debris clearance.
- The recovered remains included 55 members of the Malaka family, alongside members of the Irahem, Qanbour, Balawi, and Dahdouh families, all killed in 2023 Israeli strikes.
- Raed al-Dahshan, head of Gaza's Civil Defense, estimates 8,000 bodies remain buried under rubble; Omar Nofal, head of the government committee for missing persons, reported 6,000 officially registered as missing.
- Recovery of all bodies would take 90 days with proper equipment, yet Gaza Civil Defense lacks access to the IDF-occupied side of Gaza, which accounts for at least 60% of the territory.
