  "summary": "The agonising wait for Gaza’s missing families have been left in a state of suspended hope and grief as they search for answers about the thousands of relatives who vanished during Israel’s conflict. Over 11,000 people remain unaccounted for, with an estimated 2,500 to 3,000 suspected of enforced disappearance. Israeli authorities have withheld the names of detainees and failed to identify approximately 620 bodies returned to Gaza, leaving families with little clarity on the fate of their loved ones. Three families shared their hopes, fears, and the long wait for answers, highlighting the ongoing struggle for closure and justice.",
