Gaza families still unable to bury dead six months into ‘ceasefire’

What Happened

Six months after an October 2023 ceasefire agreement, approximately 10,000 Palestinians remain missing in Gaza, believed buried under collapsed buildings. The UN reports 61 million tonnes of rubble covers the territory. Heavy machinery promised under the ceasefire has not arrived for recovery efforts. Civil defence spokesperson Mahmoud Basal states only limited equipment was brought for retrieving Israeli captives. Israeli forces continue operations, killing at least 738 people since the ceasefire began. Families await recovery of trapped bodies.
