Gaza: Limited spaces make it difficult to transport the bodies of martyrs from the roads
157
The bodies of the martyrs are still buried in random graves inside schools, hospitals and parks in different areas of Gaza City, and even on some roads and on sidewalks, after citizens were unable during the Israeli army’s ground operations to transport them, in anticipation of being killed and targeted by army snipers and aircraft, which were targeting everyone moving inside the areas where the martyrs fell.
During the war on the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army deliberately killed the largest number of citizens, as part of a systematic extermination plan, and committed bloody mass massacres against the displaced, whether in schools or residential buildings, and this crime exceeded the capabilities of the health system in dealing with critical cases that flocked to exhausted hospitals, and this increased the number of martyrs.
The Gaza Strip suffers from severe tightness in areas as a result of overpopulation and urban sprawl, as the residents suffered even before the war of genocide from difficulty in burying their dead, and expressed their dissatisfaction with the spread of graves in roads and public facilities, and the occupation prevented the competent authorities from establishing cemeteries near the border separating Gaza and Israel.
What complicates the situation for those who returned to Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip is that they found graves scattered inside public parks and schools, where large numbers of displaced people whose homes were destroyed live, as well as in Beach Camp Park, the only recreational facility for the camp’s residents, which turned into a cemetery for martyrs who died during the occupation army’s operations, as the park includes more than 76 graves, and there are graves inside medical clinics and their people do not find a place to transport the bodies.
