Photos: Thousands in Gaza City join mass funeral for 112 Palestinians
Thousands of Palestinians attended a mass funeral in Gaza City for 112 members of the Hassayna and Abu Sharia families whose remains were recovered from rubble nearly three years after an Israeli air raid in November 2023. The funeral, described as one of the largest since the war began in October 2023, included at least 40 children among the recovered remains.
A large gathering took place in Gaza City on Tuesday as families mourned 112 members of two extended families whose remains had recently been excavated from a destroyed residential building. Civil defence crews spent two weeks removing debris from the structure in the Sabra neighbourhood before recovering the bodies, which included at least 40 children. The remains were carried through the streets wrapped in Palestinian flags before burial, marking what local observers characterized as among the most significant funeral processions since the conflict's outbreak in October 2023. Relatives used the occasion to voice allegations that Israeli military operations constituted war crimes and called for international scrutiny of both this specific incident and the hundreds of additional bodies believed to remain buried throughout Gaza's territory.
