Palestinians held a funeral procession for 100 individuals whose bodies were recovered from rubble in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood, attended by thousands, including relatives of the victims. The victims belonged to several families and had been killed by Israeli strikes approximately two and a half years ago, with similar recovery operations yielding over 100 bodies from the Abu Shariah and Hassaniya families and more than 500 from the al-Taj Tower site. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, at least 73,651 Palestinians have died and 174,592 have been injured since October 2023.
In northern Gaza, families are holding funerals for about 100 individuals, including 60 children, whose remains were found in the rubble of destroyed buildings in the Zeitoun neighborhood. Gaza's civil defense reports that there are approximately 8,000 bodies still believed to be trapped under debris, with recovery operations hindered by a lack of heavy machinery; proper equipment could allow this work to be completed in about 90 days. The conflict, which began in October 2023, has resulted in at least 73,651 Palestinian deaths and 174,592 injuries, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
