Gaza holds mass funeral for 112 people killed in Israel’s 2023 Sabra attack

Thousands join to bury the remains after they were recovered from rubble of homes destroyed during Israel’s genocidal war. More than 100 Palestinians whose bodies were trapped beneath rubble for nearly three years have been laid to rest in Gaza City, in one of the largest mass funerals held in the enclave since Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza began. Thousands of people gathered on Tuesday to bury the remains of 112 members of the Abu Sharia and al-Hasayna families after rescue teams recovered their bodies from the site of a November 2023 Israeli attack in the Sabra neighbourhood. According to Palestinian officials, the November 22, 2023 attack killed 308 members of the two families, including 40 children, 30 women and seven people with disabilities. Rescue teams recently recovered more than 100 bodies from the site, allowing families to hold funeral prayers and burials.
