The Israeli attacks have led to a humanitarian tragedy in Gaza. Due to a shortage of morgues and burial spaces, Gazan civilians who have lost their lives are being laid to rest in mass graves.
Israel is targeting civilians, resulting in a rising death toll in Gaza, exacerbating the ongoing human tragedy.
Official reports indicate that the city's morgues and burial areas are now insufficient to accommodate the increasing casualties.
The continuous Israeli assaults in Gaza have made it impossible for Palestinians to attend the funerals of their loved ones.
Numerous bodies are reportedly stored in the morgues of Şifa Hospital.
What's more, due to the absence of relatives for burials, there are signs of decay in some of the corpses.
Authorities have declared that burial procedures in Gaza are now being mandated to be carried out by hospital administrations.
It has been reported that approximately 100 unidentified individuals have been laid to rest in mass graves.
In Gaza, certain bodies are being preserved in refrigerated trucks.
