Palestinians in Gaza face a tragic reality as they continue to bury their loved ones in mass graves due to ongoing military attacks. The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor reported that thousands of families have resorted to this heartbreaking practice, with over 120 random mass graves documented since October 2023. These graves, containing approximately 3,000 martyrs, are scattered across residential areas, schools, and even public spaces. The largest grave, located in Al-Batsh Cemetery, holds between 500 and 1,000 individuals, highlighting the severe impact of the conflict on the civilian population. The situation has worsened as families face direct targeting while attempting to reach official cemeteries, making it nearly impossible to conduct dignified burials. The observatory has called for international intervention to uphold the dignity of the deceased and ensure compliance with humanitarian laws.
