Israeli air strikes in besieged Gaza have rendered major cemeteries inaccessible, compelling grieving families to bury their deceased loved ones in makeshift graveyards.

With all outside supplies of food, water, medicine, fuel and electricity cut off by Israel, an existing humanitarian crisis in Gaza has hit a dangerous new level, plunging the enclave's 2.3 million people into further misery. With hospital morgues also filled with the bodies constantly arriving from bomb sites, families must find other places to bury their dead.The Samour family was killed on Wednesday night when a strike hit their house in Khan Younis.
"These are our relatives and in-laws," said Abdelaziz Al Fahem."This is a civilian family the Israeli forces bombed. It's a real massacre," he added. A woman's body was lifted out in a white sheet and carried away on a stretcher through a crowd of men and boys. An elderly woman dressed all in black staggered down an alleyway and suddenly collapsed, wailing in grief.
