But the long-awaited cease-fire has brought only bitterness and dread.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. al-Dibs is one of countless Gazans burdened with an agonizing duty: trying to recover the remains of loved ones trapped beneath the swathes of rubble left by Israel\u2019s war against Hamas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some families have returned home to find corpses of loved ones so decomposed, they cannot tell them apart. Others cannot even enter the wreckage to dig, so strong is the stench of human decay. And some have searched and searched, only to find nothing at all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As they prepared to return to their hometown, Jabaliya, in northern Gaza, Mr. al-Dibs\u2019s two surviving children kept asking him whether their mother and little brothers might somehow have survived the blast that had trapped their bodies for three months beneath the rubble of the family home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey\u2019d ask: What if they were still sleeping after the explosion, and climbed out later? What if, later on, the Israelis heard them screaming, and got them out?\u201d he said in an interview. \u201cTheir questions torment me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Gazan health authorities have tallied nearly 48,000 among the dead, without distinguishing between civilians and combatants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Beyond that is an untold toll: those whose bodies have yet to be found.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Families have reported 9,000 people as missing. Most are bodies yet to be unearthed from Gaza\u2019s ruins, health officials said. Several thousand of these are still not counted among the dead, as the authorities investigate the backlog of requests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In mid-October, amid heavy clashes with Hamas, Mr. al-Dibs said Israeli forces blew up the building that housed three generations of the Dibs family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Desperate to seek medical help for family members dug out from the rubble, Mr. al-Dibs was forced into a terrible choice: He had to leave behind his wife, his two youngest children, his mother, his sisters and his nieces \u2014 14 loved ones in all \u2014 beneath the ruins. As the Dibs family survivors fled south to safety, he vowed to return for their bodies. It was a pledge that took months to fulfill.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For weeks after he fled, Mr. al-Dibs filed repeated requests to Israel to reach the site, using a process the U.N. set up to try to coordinate with Israel to allow Gazan rescuers access to blast sites. Israel denied all of the Dibs family\u2019s requests, the U.N. said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">COGAT, the Israeli military body that handles coordination with humanitarian organizations in Gaza, did not respond to a written request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Nearly three months later, as the cease-fire began, Mr. al-Dibs and his children finally set off home on foot, picking their way over mounds of rubble and debris.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">What they found was worse than they had imagined. Bombings had leveled buildings, scattering piles of rocks on top of his family\u2019s collapsed home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Relatives arrived, eager to help. But with Israel\u2019s punishing siege still blocking new equipment from entering the enclave, no one had drills or other power tools to break through the rubble.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe used what we could find: shovels, picks and our bare hands,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After hours of digging, they finally reached the flattened floor where his family had lived.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. al-Dibs found parts of a skeleton that he believed belonged to his son Hasib, who was 8. But he could find nothing of his wife and 6-year-old Habib \u2014 only a few charred fragments of bone that crumbled as he tried to grasp them between his fingers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">An Al Jazeera television segment filming retrieval efforts in the neighborhood caught on <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mNMmAJYtwQs\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">camera<\/a> Mr. al-Dib\u2019s realization that he would never find their bodies. Trembling with fury, he shook out some white plastic body bags.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI brought big shrouds! And little shrouds! So I could put their bodies inside! But I found their bodies reduced to ashes!\u201d he screamed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Then, as his 12-year-old daughter Fatima, in a bright yellow jacket, ran up to the ruins, sobbing and calling out the names of her younger brothers, Mr. al-Dibs gently pulled her away: \u201cOh Habib! Oh Hasib! Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey were deprived of a last goodbye,\u201d Mr. al-Dibs said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The family has since buried Hasib\u2019s remains, and now his daughter has new questions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cShe keeps asking, why we can\u2019t have graves for her mother and Habib? Where will she go sit and confide in her mother, without a grave?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Those who find their loved ones\u2019 bodies face other psychological torments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ahmad Shbat, 25, found some of his relatives\u2019 bodies in the northern town of Beit Hanoun completely intact, leaving him agonizing over the question of whether they had died, not from the bombing, but from prolonged suffering as they awaited a rescue that never came.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe feeling of helplessness,\u201d he said, \u201cis overwhelming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since the cease-fire, medical workers have been called to retrieve dozens of unidentified bodies, said Saleh al-Homs, deputy director of the European Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They write the location and any identifying details on the body bags, and place inside any belongings they find, he said, then take them to the closest hospital morgue and post descriptions of their findings on social media.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Gaza\u2019s emergency rescue services, the Civil Defense, have pleaded with residents not to attempt retrievals on their own, warning of the potential for bombs or unexploded ordnance beneath the wreckage. It says it cannot conduct major excavation efforts until heavy equipment, such as diggers, are allowed into Gaza\u2014 and which Israel <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/omerdos\/status\/1889985581717098758\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">says<\/a> it will not permit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Israel<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But few Gazans, like Ramy Nasr, a trader from Jabaliya, have any intention of waiting on anyone for help.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<div data-testid=\"imageblock-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"img-sz-small css-1189og3 e1g7ppur0\" aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\"><figcaption data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-caption\" class=\"css-13ytnnu ewdxa0s0\"><span class=\"css-jevhma e13ogyst0\">Ramy Nasr and two of his daughters.<\/span><span class=\"css-14fe1uy e1z0qqy90\"><span class=\"css-1ly73wi e1tej78p0\">Credit&#8230;<\/span><span><span aria-hidden=\"false\">via Ramy Nasr<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Nasr, whose family tragedy was recounted in a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/04\/world\/europe\/northern-gaza-evacuation-risks.html\" title=\"\">report<\/a> by The New York Times last year, returned to the site of the explosion last October that brought down the building where his siblings and their families had been sheltering.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He paid $500 to construction workers to drill a tunnel into the building to retrieve them. The bodies he found were so decomposed, he said, it was hard to tell them apart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Eventually he was able to sort them into two piles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The remains of what he believed to be his brother Ammar Adel Nasr, his wife, Imtiyaz, and their two daughters went into one grave. His brother Aref and sister Ola went into another.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Like so many graveyards in Gaza, he said, his family\u2019s graveyard is now so crammed with new bodies, it has become difficult to secure plots.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cBefore the war, every person was put into their own grave,\u201d he said. \u201cThese days, there isn\u2019t enough room \u2014 or time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
