The Long Shadow of Loss: Gaza's Unending Grief Thousands gathered in scorching summer heat for a mass funeral in Gaza City, a grim reminder of the devastating human cost of war.
The 112 members of the Abu Shreia and al Hassaina families, whose remains were unearthed nearly three years after an Israeli air attack, finally received a collective farewell.
For Lara Abu Shreia, the funeral was a poignant reminder of what she had lost: her mother, Nawal; eight siblings; and numerous nieces and nephews – all gone in an instant.
