It has been an emotionally exhausting moment for many people who ended up burying their loved ones here when Israeli forces laid siege to Al-Shifa Hospital and then stormed it and killed many people, according to Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud.

There are nearly 100 graves here. This used to be the back yard of the hospital and it served largely as a parking lot before being turned into a graveyard.

Some of the graves contain more than one body, as families had to bury their loved ones quickly because of the snipers that were stationed around the hospital.

Over the past hour, many family members have arrived here, digging for the bodies of their loved ones buried here. These are the families who were able to identify the graves because of the markers they left behind.

However, many of the graves do not have these signs. They remain unidentified, believed to contain victims whose families were either killed and did not have anyone to bury them. Or they were buried by health officials and volunteers.
