Series: Missing in Gaza
An exhaustive exploration of the crisis of the missing and disappeared in Gaza, by reporter Mahmoud Mushtaha, who followed families whose relatives have gone unaccounted for during two years of genocidal war. Thousands of families in Gaza remain unable to identify or bury their loved ones, or even determine if they are alive or dead. The reporting features interviews with human rights groups, forensic teams, as well as findings of a novel and exclusive survey conducted in collaboration with the Institute for Social and Economic Progress (ISEP), a Palestinian research organization.
