Khan Younis hospital appeals for burial shrouds after almost running out

Authorities at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis are appealing for burial shrouds as the increasing number of fatalities means there is a current shortage, Al Jazeera reported on Tuesday. 

The hospital’s laundry department warned that an increasing shortage of shrouds will mean people who have been killed will be brought out and buried uncovered. 

Both Muslim and Christian Palestinians are typically buried in shrouds.
