The Palestinian Center for the Missing and Forcibly Disappeared is following with deep concern the increasing number of disappearances among civilians, particularly those who, in recent days and weeks, have made individual attempts to return to their homes and areas in northern Gaza. This comes amid the continued imposition of complete isolation by the Israeli occupation, turning these areas into closed military zones.

The Center has documented several cases of individuals who went missing after entering evacuation zones, with no accurate information available regarding their fate, raising serious concerns about possible direct targeting or detention. Additional cases of disappearance have also been recorded among civilians heading to humanitarian aid distribution points.

Given the gravity of this worsening humanitarian situation, the Center calls on the families of the missing—especially those whose loved ones disappeared while attempting to return to their residential areas—to urgently register their information via the following link. This will enable monitoring and documentation teams to follow up on the cases accurately and complete the necessary procedures.
