The victims were part of an extended family from the Hassayna and Abu Sharia clan in Gaza City's Sabra neighborhood. Hundreds of mourners gathered around more than 100 coffins wrapped in Palestinian flags and arranged in rows on the ground. They prayed for the victims before carrying the bodies through rubble-lined streets to a nearby cemetery.
The strike that killed these victims also resulted in over 300 fatalities, with only about 40 bodies recovered immediately after the attack. Gaza's civil defense recently exhumed and collected decomposed remains from the site, describing it as the strip's biggest mass funeral since October 7, 2023.
According to Zaher al-Waheidi, head of the Gaza health ministry’s records department, at least 7,400 people are still reported by relatives as buried under the rubble. The true number is likely thousands higher due to entire families being killed in single bombings with no one left to report them missing.
