Families have turned to burying the bodies of their relatives killed in Israeli airstrikes in makeshift mass graves scattered throughout the Gaza Strip, Anadolu Agency reports.

The burials in makeshift graves are due to the difficulty of reaching cemeteries because of the ongoing aggression.

The head of the Euro-Mediterranean Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdu, said his teams have documented “more than 120 makeshift mass graves in the governorates of the Gaza Strip for burying the victims of the ongoing Israeli war.”

Abdu noted in a previous statement to Anadolu that “people in the Strip have resorted to establishing makeshift mass graves in residential neighborhoods, courtyards of homes, streets, wedding halls, and sports stadiums, given the difficulty of accessing main and organized cemeteries.”
