Families in Gaza are enduring a harrowing search for missing loved ones as Israel returns the bodies of nearly two hundred Palestinians under a ceasefire agreement. Many of the remains are severely decomposed, damaged, and lack identification, forcing relatives to rely on scars, birthmarks, or clothing to recognize them. Some bodies show signs of possible abuse, such as being bound or bearing injuries that raise questions about their treatment before death. While Israel claims all returned bodies are those of combatants, families and medical experts dispute this, with calls for an independent forensic investigation. The process has brought closure to some families, but many continue to wait anxiously for news of their missing relatives.
