TYRE, Lebanon, July 22 (UPI) -- Scores of the dead from Israel's onslaught on Lebanon have been buried in mass graves.
At a hospital in Tyre, the ancient port city hit hard by air strikes, workers said they had to clear out refrigerator trucks being used to hold bodies, The Los Angeles Times reported.
"I've been a doctor for years, and I've never seen anything like this," said Nabil Harkus. "They can't fight Hezbollah because Hezbollah is not an army. They kill the people because they think it's the only way to stop Hezbollah."
While the Lebanese government puts the death toll at more than 350, the Times said it may be significantly higher. One woman, Soubiha Abdullah, was at the hospital to identify the bodies of 24 relatives killed by an airstrike on the highway as they fled a southern village.
At the hospital, volunteers used pine boards to throw together crude coffins to hold bodies buried in long trenches.
