Around half of the dead were previously recovered and buried, but 153 bodies had remained under the rubble until now. Nearly three years later, a recovery team of 40 workers spent 17 days painstakingly combing the wreckage, and brought out remains identified as belonging to 112 of those missing victims. According to Palestinian health authorities, more than 73,000 Palestinians are confirmed to have died in the Israeli war in Gaza. Most of the deaths were documented when bodies were brought to morgues and buried, but around 8,000 more are believed to lie beneath the rubble. It is time for those bodies, those little bodies, to rest in peace, and for their souls to hover in the skies around us.”
