Hanaa al-Mabhuh, a mother in Gaza, is searching for her missing 18-year-old son, Omar, among bodies returned by Israel following a ceasefire deal in February 2026. Omar disappeared with his cousin in June 2025 while inspecting their home in the Jabaliya refugee camp after the October 7, 2023 raid by Hamas. Like thousands of other Palestinians, Hanaa seeks closure and information about her loved one who went missing during the war. She is looking through photographs and visiting morgues, hoping to find Omar and understand his fate, while also fearing the worst. The family has contacted the ICRC and human rights organizations for assistance, but the search continues.
