Gazans bury nearly an entire clan found in rubble in mass funeral for 112
According to Palestinian authorities, 308 members of the extended Al-Hassayna family were killed on November 22, 2023 when Israeli airstrikes brought down a cluster of buildings.
In Gaza City, Gaza Strip, the decomposed remains of 112 bodies were laid out on stretchers draped in flags under the scorching sun. These remains represent all that remains of the Al-Hassaynas clan, a proud Bedouin family nearly eradicated by Israel nearly three years ago. According to Palestinian authorities, 308 members of the Al-Hassayna family, also known as the Abu Sharia, perished on November 22, 2023 when Israeli airstrikes destroyed a cluster of apartment buildings where residents were sleeping in Sabra, one of the older neighborhoods of Gaza City.
Roughly half of the victims had been recovered and buried prior to this, but 153 bodies remained entombed beneath the rubble until recently.
