Chaos of Gaza war forces Christians to bury dead in Muslim cemeteries

Palestinian Christians in Gaza are burying their loved ones in Muslim cemeteries due to the dangers of traveling to their own graveyards amid the war between Israel and Hamas. The Tal al-Sultan cemetery received the body of a Christian man named Hani Suheil Abu Dawood because it was too risky for his family to travel. Cooperation between Christians and Muslims is common in Gaza, with a worker at the cemetery emphasizing the importance of respecting and protecting all human beings regardless of religion. The war has led to widespread destruction in Gaza, with many lives lost and families devastated.
