Mass graves, unclaimed bodies and overcrowded cemeteries. The war robs Gaza of funeral rites
apnews.com
Palestinians say this war is robbing them not only of their loved ones but also of the funeral rites that long have offered mourners some dignity and closure in the midst of unbearable grief. Israeli strikes have killed so many people so quickly that they’ve overwhelmed hospitals and morgues, making the normal rituals of death all but impossible.
Overflowing morgues have compelled hospitals to bury people before their relatives can claim them. Gravediggers have laid dozens of unidentified bodies side by side in two large backhoe-dug furrows in Gaza City now holding 63 and 46 bodies, respectively, said Mohammed Abu Selmia, the general director of Shifa Hospital.

Cowardly Hamas terrorists need to stop intentionally placing Gazan civilians in harms way and using them as shields
You do know that Israel has established a total blockade. Meaning no one can leave
Egypt is a free country that could let in as many as they wanted. But Egypt says “no” citing security concerns. Of course, make the security concerns Israel’s problem and chastise them when they are forced to deal with it.
Free? Since when exactly?
In this context, it's clear they meant free as in sovereign and able to make their own decisions and policies regarding their border, not anything to do with their government structure or civil rights of Egyptians.
So you mean the border crossing that Israel regularly bombs?
They're totally free to move humanitarian aid under air strikes.
Regularly? There was a strike was against an underground tunnel in the Rafah area but your point still stands as the gate was closed due to this for a while. An aid shipment just arrived through there last week, and Israel has agreed to let more through.
If Israel doesn't have any control of the Rafah border crossing, why is there a news article saying they agreed to let more trucks through the Rafah crossing.....
And, that’s not what post was about.
