In pictures: Palestinians mourn in newly established cemetery in Gaza

Amidst a lack of proper funeral services and with bombs raining down, Palestinians in Gaza City have created a makeshift cemetery in the vicinity of al-Shifa Hospital to bury their dead.  

As the death toll from Israeli bombardment continues to mount daily, more cemeteries are being quickly established in Gaza.

There are currently two cemeteries in the vicinity of Shifa, one close to the maternity ward and another towards the northwest of the building.

In some of the cemeteries, all of those buried there are known, while in others, bodies are disfigured due to Israeli bombing, making them unrecognisable.

Some bodies have been completely burnt or have decomposed, also making it unable to identify them.
