Palestinians say this war is robbing them not only of their loved ones but also of the funeral rites that long have offered mourners some dignity and closure in the midst of unbearable grief. Israeli strikes have killed so many people so quickly that they’ve overwhelmed hospitals and morgues, making the normal rituals of death all but impossible.
Overflowing morgues have compelled hospitals to bury people before their relatives can claim them. Gravediggers have laid dozens of unidentified bodies side by side in two large backhoe-dug furrows in Gaza City now holding 63 and 46 bodies, respectively, said Mohammed Abu Selmia, the general director of Shifa Hospital.
So you mean the border crossing that Israel regularly bombs?
They’re totally free to move humanitarian aid under air strikes.
Regularly? There was a strike was against an underground tunnel in the Rafah area but your point still stands as the gate was closed due to this for a while. An aid shipment just arrived through there last week, and Israel has agreed to let more through.
