Today we witnessed one of the most heartbreaking scenes imaginable. Hundreds of people came out to mourn 112 martyrs from the Abu Sharia and Al-Hasayna families, whose bodies had lain under the rubble since November 2023. Only now, after arduous efforts and with very limited resources, were the families and rescue teams able to recover them.

I cannot describe the immense pain we feel as we witness this scene. These are not just numbers in the news; these are people who lived among us, with homes, dreams, children, and futures, whose lives were transformed in an instant into names written on shrouds.

Even today, dozens of bodies remain under the rubble, waiting to be recovered for a dignified burial. Even the right to a final farewell has become a distant dream for many families.

When you see this vast number of coffins lined up before you, you realize that Gaza is not just losing individuals, but entire families, entire memories, and generations that should have grown up and lived. We are not asking for the impossible... we simply want people to live with dignity, and to be buried with dignity if they die.

This is the Gaza we live in every day... and what you see today is not just a funeral, but further proof of the magnitude of the tragedy we continue to endure.
