Even in death Gazans find no peace

Jan 14 - Heavy casualties among Palestinians from the Israeli military offensive on the Gaza strip has left many Palestinians struggling for graves to bury their dead.

In nearly three weeks of war, more than 900 Palestinians have died, many of them civilians.

With many graveyards now cut-off by Israeli forces ringing Gaza's main cities, many cemeteries that are still accessible are full, leaving many bereaved families to defy Muslim tradition and bury loved ones on top of existing bodies.
