Large crowds in Gaza City attended a mass funeral on Tuesday for 112 individuals, predominantly women and children, who died in an Israeli strike in late 2023. Their bodies were only recently recovered from under rubble in a two-week operation, with 44 children and 38 women among the dead. The Civil Defence, operating under the Hamas-run interior ministry, carried out the recovery work.
