STORYLINE:
A new exhibition opened in Tel Aviv to recreate the festival grounds attacked on Oct. 7 and honor its victims.
The open-air Tribe of Nova music festival is believed to be the worst civilian massacre in Israeli history, with at least 364 dead.
Some of the bodies of those who died were so badly burned in fires or explosions during the attacks that there’s little left to identify.
Others who might still be alive haven’t been traced, forcing families to live in limbo.
“It was really important for us that all of you see our journey. It’s not only a journey of darkness that happened on the 7th (of October) – there’s also light on this journey," said Ofir Amin, exhibition organizer.
He also described processing the aftermath as "a healing journey for our community."
In November, the military adjusted the number of people killed from more than 1,400 to approximately 1,200, but didn’t specify why.
Israeli officials told the AP that dozens of people's fates were still unknown, but wouldn't respond to multiple requests for comment about why it’s taken so long to identify them and why the number of dead was adjusted.
The fates of thousands of people are also unaccounted for in Gaza, where families are agonizingly searching for relatives after weeks of endless airstrikes.
