The new one filled up last week. Now the dead are left in the be- sieged enclave’s streets, buried in backyards and overwhelming the morgues. Medical officials secured yet another plot for the dead. But they say they have no way to dig graves with government troops now crashing into opposi- tion-held eastern Aleppo, shelling civilians as they flee and forcing thousands to squeeze into a chaotic, devastated and shrinking pocket of neighborhoods. “We have no more room,” said Mohammed Abu Jaafar, the head of the local forensic authority. His department is so over- whelmed, the staff register- ing the dead pleaded with him not to take any more bodies. “Even if I were to con- sider mass burials, I don’t have the machines to do the digging,” he said in a telephone interview. Dignity in death has been lost as the rebel-held en- clave that has held out for four years collapses. For two weeks, govern- ment forces bombarded the area, killing more than 310 civilians, including 42 chil- dren, and up to 220 opposi- tion fighters, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Then last weekend, ground troops stormed into the 17-square- mile (45 square kilometer) enclave, captured half of it and advanced on the rest. U.N Emergency Relief Coordinator Stephen O’Brien pleaded Wednes- day for access to eastern Aleppo, home to some 275,000, “before it be- comes one giant grave- yard.” In some ways, it already has. Bodies have been left to rot on the streets. Ambu- lances and rescue vehicles can’t reach them because they have been targeted or because fuel has run out. As troops close in, there are now more, multiple front lines all too danger- ous to approach. Residents of a southern neighborhood close to a government advance only learned that a body was ly- ing in the ditches when a cat started eating at the corpse. “A woman from the neighborhood came and re- ported it to the morgue. We still don’t know who the corpse belongs to,” Abu Jaafar said, holding his breath. “I swear to God I cried. And I am one who is used to horrific scenes.” With eastern Aleppo un- der a tight siege since July, supplies and food are run- ning out. Just before the ground offensive, government airstrikes knocked out all seven medical facilities in the enclave, including five equipped with trauma and intensive care units. With the government advances, the medical complex where four of the hospitals are lo- cated is now only a few hundred yards (meters) from conquering troops. The hospitals were evac- uated. The doctors scat- tered around the strip, set- ting up small underground medical points to avoid de- tection but able to give only the simplest basics of care. “Every wounded is a po- tential martyr,” said Zakaria Amino, the deputy head of the eastern Aleppo Local Council. A nurse who works in one underground clinic said some wounded have died as they waited for medical at- tention, and because of a shortage of blood. The en- clave’s blood bank was hit and shut down. Even worse, some after surgery could not survive the cold weather, she said. When government forces and their allies took the northern part of the en- clave, over 30,000 people fled into government and Kurdish-controlled parts of the city. Thousands more fled into the remaining rebel-held southern dis- tricts, already overwhelmed and running short on all supplies. On the road fleeing, at least 50 people were killed in government bombings in the last few days. Images of their bodies lying on the ground amid the debris and their packed bags were a reminder of the cruel na- ture of the conflict, now in its sixth year. “There are wounded peo- ple everywhere. I am afraid I will step on them as I walk,” said Abu Jaafar. And while the makeshift medical points are over- whelmed and understaffed, they also don’t know where to bury the dead. Abu Jaafar said they are afraid the piled bodies would expose the clinics’ secret locations. “There are informants and collabora- tors with the regime every- where,” he said. In the past four years, more than 20,000 residents of Aleppo province have been killed, more than 80 percent of them in rebel- held areas, according to the Britain-based Observatory, which has kept a record o casualties. The eastern districts’ old cemetery was full even b fore rebels took over t area in 2012. But it w still used amid the hea fighting and governmen bombardment as official looked for another piece o land. They found anothe last year, but now that one which was bombed th summer, and two smalle ones are full. But since the war intensi- fied, residents of eas Aleppo have had to reso to whatever is closest honor their dead. “We have buried our dead in our gardens for a while said Amino, of the counc When possible, he said peo ple take their dead to Tababa, or the health author- ity run by Abu Jaafar that op- erates the morgue and issues deaths certificates. Documentation is nearly impossible when the whole population is in flux. Sinc Saturday, 20 bodies lie his morgue unidentified af ter the shelling of peop fleeing the ground ad vances. Another 70 bodie remain unidentified from the airstrikes that preceded the ground assault. Abu Jaafar posted a p ture of a 5-month-old g found under the rubbl somewhere in Aleppo tw days ago. Her parents a believed dead, and the littl girl lost a leg. She is now in the care of the nurses in one of the underground clinics. “With ambulances over whelmed and many of them out of order, people are act- ing as rescuers,” Abu Jaafar said. All the bodies are b lieved to be civilians.

“We have no moreroom,” said MohammedAbu Jaafar, the head of thelocal forensic authority. Hisdepartment is so over-whelmed, the staff register-ing the dead pleaded withhim not to take any morebodies.

“Even if I were to con-sider mass burials, I don’thave the machines to dothe digging,” he said in atelephone interview.

Dignity in death has beenlost as the rebel-held en-clave that has held out forfour years collapses.

For two weeks, govern-ment forces bombarded thearea, killing more than 310civilians, including 42 chil-dren, and up to 220 opposi-tion fighters, according tothe Syrian Observatory forHuman Rights. Then lastweekend, ground troopsstormed into the 17-square-mile (45 square kilometer)enclave, captured half of itand advanced on the rest.

U.N Emergency ReliefCoordinator StephenO’Brien pleaded Wednes-day for access to eastern

Aleppo, home to some275,000, “before it be-comes one giant grave-yard.”

In some ways, it alreadyhas. Bodies have been leftto rot on the streets. Ambu-lances and rescue vehiclescan’t reach them becausethey have been targeted orbecause fuel has run out.As troops close in, thereare now more, multiplefront lines all too danger-ous to approach.

Residents of a southernneighborhood close to agovernment advance onlylearned that a body was ly-ing in the ditches when a catstarted eating at the corpse.

“A woman from theneighborhood came and re-ported it to the morgue.We still don’t know whothe corpse belongs to,” AbuJaafar said, holding hisbreath. “I swear to God Icried. And I am one who isused to horrific scenes.”

With eastern Aleppo un-der a tight siege since July,supplies and food are run-ning out.

Just before the groundoffensive, governmentairstrikes knocked out allseven medical facilities inthe enclave, including fiveequipped with trauma andintensive care units. Withthe government advances,the medical complex wherefour of the hospitals are lo-cated is now only a fewhundred yards (meters)from conquering troops.

The hospitals were evac-uated. The doctors scat-tered around the strip, set-ting up small undergroundmedical points to avoid de-tection but able to giveonly the simplest basics ofcare.

“Every wounded is a po-tent ia l martyr ,” sa idZakaria Amino, the deputy

head of the eastern AleppoLocal Council.

A nurse who works inone underground clinic saidsome wounded have died asthey waited for medical at-tention, and because of ashortage of blood. The en-clave’s blood bank was hitand shut down. Evenworse, some after surgerycould not survive the coldweather, she said.

When government forcesand their allies took thenorthern part of the en-clave, over 30,000 peoplefled into government andKurdish-controlled parts ofthe city. Thousands morefled into the remainingrebel-held southern dis-tricts, already overwhelmedand running short on allsupplies.

On the road fleeing, atleast 50 people were killedin government bombings inthe last few days. Images oftheir bodies lying on theground amid the debris andtheir packed bags were areminder of the cruel na-ture of the conflict, now inits sixth year.

“There are wounded peo-ple everywhere. I am afraidI will step on them as Iwalk,” said Abu Jaafar.

And while the makeshiftmedical points are over-whelmed and understaffed,they also don’t know whereto bury the dead.

Abu Jaafar said they areafraid the piled bodieswould expose the clinics’secret locations. “There areinformants and collabora-tors with the regime every-where,” he said.

In the past four years,more than 20,000 residentsof Aleppo province havebeen killed, more than 80percent of them in rebel-held areas, according to theBritain-based Observatory,

which has kept a record ofcasualties.

The eastern districts’ oldcemetery was full even be-fore rebels took over thearea in 2012. But it wasstill used amid the heavyfighting and governmentbombardment as officialslooked for another piece ofland. They found anotherlast year, but now that one,which was bombed thissummer, and two smallerones are full.

But since the war intensi-f ied, residents of eastAleppo have had to resortto whatever is closest tohonor their dead.

“We have buried our deadin our gardens for a while,”said Amino, of the council.When possible, he said peo-ple take their dead to theTababa, or the health author-ity run by Abu Jaafar that op-erates the morgue and issuesdeaths certificates.

Documentation is nearlyimpossible when the wholepopulation is in flux. SinceSaturday, 20 bodies lie inhis morgue unidentified af-ter the shelling of peoplefleeing the ground ad-vances. Another 70 bodiesremain unidentified fromthe airstrikes that precededthe ground assault.

Abu Jaafar posted a pic-ture of a 5-month-old girlfound under the rubblesomewhere in Aleppo twodays ago. Her parents arebelieved dead, and the littlegirl lost a leg. She is now inthe care of the nurses in oneof the underground clinics.

“With ambulances over-whelmed and many of themout of order, people are act-ing as rescuers,” Abu Jaafarsaid.

All the bodies are be-lieved to be civilians. Thefighters bury their dead in-dependently.
