“Where are my sons and my husband?” she said. “This is the cry I am sending from the depths of my heart.”
Mohammed Saleha, general coordinator of the Palestinian NGOs Network, said more than 11,200 Palestinians in Gaza remain missing.
“Some are under the rubble, while others are in Israeli prisons,” he told Anadolu.
Saleha said Palestinian authorities do not know how many are being held in Israeli detention and accused Israel of withholding information about their whereabouts.
“Their families have the right to know their fate and where they are,” he said, urging the ICRC, UN, and other international bodies to press Israel for information.
On Saturday, the Palestinian Center for Missing and Forcibly Disappeared Persons estimated that between 2,500 and 3,000 people may have been subjected to enforced disappearance during the genocidal war.
The Palestinian Justice Ministry puts the overall number of missing or forcibly disappeared Palestinians since October 7, 2023 at more than 11,200, including over 4,700 women and children.
The figure also includes people believed buried under rubble, those who vanished during military offensives or displacement, and people suspected of being detained without their families being informed of their whereabouts.
As many as 1,313 Palestinians have been killed and 4,361 injured in Israeli violations since a ceasefire agreement that was signed last October, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
Overall, Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza since October 2023 has killed at least 73,449 people and injured 174,472.
