8. BODIES BEING CARRIED ON CARRIAGE DEIR AL-BALAH, PALESTINE - DEC. 18, 2025: The bodies of 80 Palestinians from the Salim family, recovered from the rubble of a five-story building targeted by the Israeli army, were brought to the morgue of Al-Shifa Medical Complex for burial nearly a year and a half later.

The building reportedly housed more than 100 people at the time of the attack. After three days of recovery efforts, funeral prayers were held for the victims at Al-Shifa Medical Complex.

The bodies were later buried in a mass grave in Deir al-Balah.

According to the latest data from Gaza's Government Media Office, the conflict has resulted in the complete destruction of 268,000 housing units, with 148,000 severely damaged beyond habitability and 153,000 partially damaged.

A ceasefire agreement brokered between Hamas and Israel on October 10 of last year halted large-scale military operations. However, reports indicate that Israel continues demolitions in areas under its control, and the Israeli military has been accused of hundreds of violations of the agreement, including bombardments and killings.
