Gaza Faces Severe Shortage of Burial Space Amidst Ongoing Israeli War

Gaza Strip. Thousands of bodies have been buried in temporary locations due to the Israeli war. Now, even regular burial sites are running out of space. 20-year-old Omar Al-Sabahi had to find a grave for his father, Mohammed, who was shot dead near Gaza's 'Yellow Line'.

Mohammed, 40, who lived in the Zaytoun area of Gaza City, was shot in the neck on June 10 while working at a small tea-coffee shop by the roadside. He died immediately after being shot. Omar went to the Zaytoun cemetery to bury his father. There, the graves were very close to each other. Most of them were of people killed in the ongoing Israeli war in Gaza.
