Families and other mourners in Gaza City attended funerals for the remains of 75 Palestinians recovered from beneath destroyed buildings in the al-Daraj neighborhood. WAFA reported that recovery teams lacked heavy machinery and forensic equipment, and that some remains had to be recovered by hand. Medical sources cited by WAFA estimated that around 8,000 bodies remained beneath rubble across Gaza; a separate Ministry of Justice missing-persons estimate was not a consolidated count. The burial was an act of family mourning and care after prolonged separation from the dead.
