A children’s park has been turned into a cemetery for war victims in Deraa camp for Palestinian refugees, south of Syria.
In 2012, the residents were forced to bury their deceased relatives in the playground after they failed to reach the local cemetery due to heavy shelling and deadly shootouts.
On July 27, 2012, the war machinery claimed the lives of dozens of civilians. Their bodies were all buried overnight in a collective pit dug in the playground. The area has become known as the “Martyrs’ Cemetery”.
