'All we wanted was to bury him': How a Gaza family struggled to recover their dead son
A Gaza family struggled to recover the body of their son, Muhammed Abu Khammash, after he was killed near Israel's 'Yellow Line' military zone. The 29-year-old, who had severe mental illness, was reportedly shot by Israeli forces in an area declared off-limits, leaving his body stranded for days. The Yellow Line has confined most Palestinians to limited areas, intensifying humanitarian crises and preventing families from accessing loved ones killed near the boundary.
