Gaza Holds Mass Funeral for 112 Bodies Recovered From Rubble
Recovery teams spent 17 days digging through rubble, with 44 of the recovered bodies identified as children, Gaza's civil defence said.
- On Tuesday, Palestinians in Gaza City buried 112 members of the Abu Sharia and Al-Hasayna families, whose remains were recovered from rubble last month after Israeli airstrikes killed them in November 2023.
- The strike on the Sabra neighborhood flattened an entire residential block where hundreds of Abu Sharia and Al-Hasayna family members had sheltered, believing the house would be spared.
- Palestinian Civil Defence spokesperson Mahmoud Basal said, "We worked for 17 days to recover the bodies," identifying 44 children, 37 women, and more than 10 people with disabilities among the victims.
- Amer Abu Sharia, who lost relatives in the attack, told Middle East Eye, "There is a feeling of both pain and joy," adding the sorrow returned as if the massacre happened today.
- Omar Nofal, head of Gaza's government committee for missing persons, estimates 15,000 people remain missing, with thousands likely buried beneath collapsed buildings as families continue to plead for recovery.
