Gaza’s Vanishing Dead: Six Months of a Phony Ceasefire and 10,000 Unaccounted For
Al Jazeera reports that families across Gaza are still grappling with the inability to bury their loved ones, half a year after a supposed 'ceasefire.' This isn't an oversight. This is a deliberate process of erasure, leaving thousands of bodies as a grim testament to a conflict that never truly ended for its victims.

The pattern holds: inflict maximum damage, then deny accountability and obstruct the process of grieving and reconstruction. The US
