Missing in Gaza: Stories Behind the Numbers

The reported death toll in Gaza, now approaching 73,000, continues to rise. Even during the ceasefire, people are still being killed or dying from starvation and lack of medical care. Thousands more remain missing, detained, or buried under rubble, with families still searching for answers amid limited transparency and restricted access to forensic resources. On today’s episode of Arab Talk, we’re joined by Mahmoud Mushtaha, Palestinian journalist and researcher from Gaza, now based in the UK. In a recent Wired investigation, he explores one family’s search for a missing loved one, offering a personal lens on a much wider crisis.
