Hospitals have been flattened and bodies are piling on the streets, so the only optoin left is to bury them in a trench.
The number of civilian and soldier deaths continues to rise as Russian forces sustain their attacks on the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, causing city officials to resort to burying the dead in mass graves, The Associated Press reported Wednesday.
Morgues have been inundated with the dead so the city has resorted to burying civilians and soldiers in a mass grave. A cemetery in the center of the city now hosts the mass grave site which is essentially a trench 25 meters (80 feet) long, per the AP.
Civilians who died from the shelling, killed service members, as well as those who died from natural causes have been buried at the site.
The burial process is unceremonial as the danger in the region persists, the AP reported, citing that the cemetery itself was bombed on Tuesday.
The total number of bodies in the trench remains unclear, but between Tuesday and Thursday there were at least 70 buried in the trench, ABC News reported.
ABC News also reported that Russian forces conducted at least eight major airstrikes between Wednesday and Thursday, even striking a maternity hospital on Wednesday. A fire department was also struck.
