Palestinians in Gaza gathered for funeral prayers on Tuesday for 112 people recovered from under the rubble of homes destroyed during Israel’s genocidal war on the enclave.
Draped in Palestinian flags and laid near the ruins of the destroyed homes, the bodies were mourned by thousands of Palestinians who attended the funeral in Gaza City’s Sabra neighborhood, Anadolu Agency reported.
The funeral is considered one of the largest in Palestinian history due to the high number of victims. Civil defense crews had pulled the bodies from the rubble on Saturday.
“The victims included 40 children, 38 women and seven people with disabilities,” according to a Civil Defense statement.
“The teams were unable to find 157 bodies still missing under the rubble,” said Civil Defense official Mohammad Abu Dan.
Gaza’s Palestinian authorities estimate that around 9,500 people remain under the rubble of buildings destroyed by Israel across Gaza.
Israel has killed more than 73,000 people and injured over 174,000 others in a brutal war in Gaza since October 2023.
Despite the ceasefire agreement in effect since Oct. 10, 2025, Israel has continued its attacks across the enclave, killing 1,250 Palestinians and injuring 4,110 others, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
