Gaza Residents: Cemeteries Running Out of Space
-----------------------------------------------



As the death toll rises, Gaza residents are now reporting local
cemeteries are running out of space to bury the dead. Gaza resident
Mahmoud al-Zinati said his sixteen-year-old cousin has been buried on
top of a twelve-year-old cousin killed by Israel two years ago.

Mahmoud al-Zinati: “When my cousin became a martyr, we came to this
graveyard and other graveyards to find a place to bury my cousin in, but
found no place. But thank God, one of our cousins became a martyr two
years ago. So we said we should dig up his grave so we can bury my
cousin next to him.”
