Gaza: Bodies pile up as mortuary freezers stop working
12 October 2023 09:17 BST
Dead bodies are piling up in the besieged Gaza Strip following Israel’s bombardment, which is now in its sixth day.
Israel cut off all food, water, fuel and electricity to Gaza on Monday.
The electricity cuts mean that many hospitals are now out of service and mortuary freezers have stopped working.
Streets in Gaza, particularly residential neighbourhoods which have been heavily bombed, are lined with dead bodies.
