What happened

Cemeteries in Gaza are reaching maximum capacity, leaving residents with no available ground to inter the dead as recovery efforts continue. Al Jazeera and the BBC report that families are engaged in a search for missing individuals amid the deteriorating infrastructure.

In Gaza City, mass funerals have been held for victims identified after Israeli airstrikes, while AP photojournalists have documented the visual reality on the ground. Coverage does not yet specify how authorities intend to manage the lack of burial space or what methods will be employed to process the thousands still reported as missing.

The potential for future arrangements for the deceased is currently undefined.
