The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza has resulted in a significant number of civilian casualties. Rows of white shrouds in Gaza symbolize the mounting civilian deaths caused by Israel's retaliation for Hamas attacks. The shrouds bear messages of mourning and love, while some are labeled 'unknown male' or 'unknown female' due to the chaos of war. Arab states and charities have donated the burial garments, but there are challenges in the supply due to the sheer number of the dead. The white shrouds have become a symbol of Gaza's suffering and are parallel to the Palestinian flag in their significance. The tradition of using white shrouds goes back to a narration by the Prophet Muhammed. In war-time Gaza, the process of obtaining shrouds begins amid scenes of chaos and devastation. Displaced Gazans are fleeing again as Israel launches fresh assaults in Gaza. Israel carried out strikes in Al Nuseirat, killing seven people. The situation in Gaza is expected to worsen, and no Palestinian authority acceptable to Israel appears able to take over soon. [159aba8f]
