War has pushed Gaza’s children to the brink – “like the living dead”
UNICEF says nearly every child needs mental health support as war leaves families displaced and thousands of bodies still buried under rubble.
- On Sunday, hundreds of Palestinians attended a mass funeral in Gaza City for 75 victims whose remains were recently recovered from rubble in the Daraj neighborhood and buried at the Sheikh Radwan Cemetery.
- Abdullah al-Majdalawi, director of public relations for Gaza's Civil Defence, said remains were recovered from homes bombed early in the war, belonging to around 20 families including displaced people.
- Al Jazeera correspondent Nour Khaled reported the majority were women and children "who were inside their homes when they were targeted." At least 74,475 Palestinians have been killed since the war began in 2023.
- Recovery teams face severe equipment shortages hindering efforts, and Civil Defence spokesperson Mahmoud Basal says the agency believes remains of another 8,000 Palestinians are still trapped beneath rubble across the Strip.
- The Civil Defence launched its second phase of recovery operations in July, with teams continuing to locate remains throughout the Strip despite persistent logistical constraints.
