Bodies wrapped in Palestinian flags carried through the streets of the besieged city in one of the largest funerals since war on Gaza began.
x whatsapp-stroke copylink google Add Al Jazeera on Google info By AP Published On 4 Aug 2026 4 Aug 2026 Thousands of Palestinians have taken part in a mass funeral in Gaza City for 112 members of the Hassayna and Abu Sharia families, whose remains were recently recovered from beneath the rubble nearly three years after an Israeli air raid.
Mourners gathered on Tuesday as bodies wrapped in Palestinian flags were carried through the streets of the besieged city before burial, in what local media described as one of the largest funerals since Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza began in October 2023.
Gaza’s civil defence said its crews spent two weeks excavating a destroyed residential building in the Sabra neighbourhood, eventually retrieving the remains of 112 people, including at least 40 children.
The families were killed in an Israeli strike in November 2023 that flattened their homes.
Relatives used the funeral to renew accusations that Israel committed war crimes in Gaza and demanded international investigations into the attack and the hundreds of bodies still believed to be buried under rubble across the territory.
