Gaza is running out of places to bury the dead

Gaza is running out of burial space as families retrieve more bodies from war rubble. Recent recovery efforts yielded 50 Palestinians, including 19 children, while other reports detail funeral prayers for 112 people killed in home bombings. The scarcity of cemetery space has forced the use of mass funerals in Gaza City and the creation of unmarked graves. This shortage complicates the ability of families to provide traditional burials during a deepening humanitarian crisis.
