In Gaza cemeteries, some displaced Palestinians live among the dead
Around 30 displaced families live in graves at Khan Younis cemetery due to destroyed homes and lack of shelter, with the Gaza death toll exceeding 68,800, officials said.
- On Friday, Oct. 31, 2025, makeshift tents appeared next to graves in Khan Younis, Gaza, where some 30 families, including Maisa Brikah and her children, shelter among tombstones.
- Two years of fighting and a ceasefire that began on October 10 have left over 2 million displaced people, with destroyed homes and Israeli forces occupying neighborhoods forcing residents lacking money to shelter among graves.
- Smoke from cooking fires and children hauling water jugs highlight daily scarcity, as gravestones serve as seats and tables and some families survive with only 200 shekels.
- Following the ceasefire, intensive searches for the dead have begun, raising Gaza's death toll over 68,800 as new burials marked by stones appear and cemeteries face bombing, United Nations observers report.
- Burials have been improvised across Gaza, disrupting family plots as Palestinian health officials post photos to aid identification and Israel accuses Hamas of using cemeteries for cover.
