A ZAKA emergency response volunteer collects bloodstains and human tissue in a house where an elderly man was murdered on October 7. Remains of the deceased are meticulously collected so that they can be buried in a religious ceremony. Identifying the victims of the October 7 massacre was especially
difficult due to the fact that some of the houses were burned to the ground. This necessitated arduous, precise and sensitive work, both by the ZAKA personnel who collected human tissue and also by archaeologists who were called in later to locate remains of bones for DNA testing.
