The funeral of Alon Shamriz, one of three hostages mistakenly killed by Israeli troops Friday in a battle-torn neighborhood of Gaza City, was held on Sunday as the Israeli government faces mounting international pressure for a ceasefire with Hamas. And, police forces in Quebec, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are among those that have seen an increase this year in missing people over the age of 60. Experts say the increase in cases appears to correspond with the rise of dementia.

These are just some of the top stories on the December 17, 2023 edition of The World This Weekend.
