The sheer volume of human remains has pushed the system to its limit in the long-blockaded territory.
The morgue at Gaza’s biggest hospital overflowed on Thursday as bodies came in faster than relatives could claim them, on the sixth day of Israel’s heavy aerial bombardment on the territory of 2.3 million people.
“The body bags started and just kept coming and coming and now it’s a graveyard,” Abu Elias Shobaki, a nurse at Shifa, said of the car park.“I am emotionally, physically exhausted. I just have to stop myself from thinking about how much worse it will get.” Already, the sheer volume of human remains has pushed the system to its limit in the long-blockaded territory.
Those deaths, and more than 6,000 injuries, have overwhelmed Gaza’s health care facilities as supplies dwindle.
