Gaza recovery teams recover remains of 75 people from destroyed homes
A funeral was held in Gaza City for the remains of 75 Palestinians recovered from buildings destroyed during the war, most of them from the Daraj neighbourhood. Gaza health and civil-defence officials said many victims were women and children from about 20 families and that recovery work is hampered by a lack of heavy equipment. Civil Defence says another 8,000 people may remain beneath rubble across Gaza, where UNRWA estimates about 200,000 buildings have been damaged or destroyed.

Why this made the edition
The report documents a mass funeral and recovery operation with specific figures, locations and humanitarian constraints. Most casualty details come from Gaza health and civil-defence authorities and Al Jazeera reporting, so the attribution and uncertainty should remain explicit.
