Five of the caretakers of Gaza War Cemetery were released into Egypt in May 2024. Some immediate family members were allowed to leave. This was as the Rafah crossing was seized and sealed.

However, one staff member, thought to be Yacoub Ismaili, a fifty something year old gardener, with at least two decades service, chose to remain for family reasons. His current situation is not known.

There is a fascinating short doc about the work of the staff of Gaza War Cemetery on YouTube called, ‘The English Cemetery of Gaza - the Strange Neighbor’ (2018).
