Thousands of Palestinians in Gaza City on Tuesday held a mass funeral for 112 members of the Abu Sharia al-Hassaina family, a well-known and respected clan that has been nearly wiped out by Israel’s genocidal war, the Palestinian news agency WAFA has reported.
The bodies of the 112 Palestinians mourned on Tuesday were recovered from the rubble in Gaza City’s Sabra neighborhood, where they were buried by Israeli airstrikes that collapsed entire residential buildings in November 2023.
Ali Abu Sharia, an elder and surviving member of the family, said the 112 people buried on Tuesday included 44 children, 37 women, 23 elderly people, and seven persons with disabilities.
A total of 308 members of the family have been killed by Israeli attacks, including 267 who have been buried and 41 whose remains are still missing.
Israel has continued its attacks in Gaza despite Hamas agreeing to a disarmament plan announced by President Trump and the so-called “Board of Peace” on July 30, with dozens of Palestinians killed since then.
