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 slow because the US and Israel 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 victims from the Irahem, Qanbour, Balawi, and Dahdouh families, all killed in November 2023 airstrikes.
- Raed al-Dahshan, head of Gaza's Civil Defense, estimates 8,000 bodies remain buried under rubble, while Omar Nofal, head of the government committee for missing persons, reported 6,000 officially registered as missing.
- With proper equipment, recovery would take 90 days, yet Gaza Civil Defense currently lacks access to the IDF-occupied side of Gaza, which accounts for at least 60% of the territory.
