Thousands in Gaza attend funeral for 112 Palestinians recovered from rubble

Civil defence teams recovered the bodies from the rubble on Saturday.

In a statement, Gaza’s Civil Defence said the victims included 40 children, 38 women and seven people with disabilities.

Civil Defence official Mohammad Abu Dan said teams were still unable to recover the remains of 157 people believed to be trapped beneath the debris.

Since October 2023, Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians and wounded over 174,000, according to Palestinian authorities.

Despite a ceasefire that took effect on October 10 2025, Israeli attacks have continued across the enclave, killing 1,250 Palestinians and injuring 4,110 others, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

Palestinian authorities estimate that around 9,500 people remain buried beneath the rubble of destroyed buildings across Gaza.
