In Syria, rescue workers are digging mass graves for earthquake victims
In the opposition-controlled areas of northwestern Syria, the population was left completely devastated by the earthquake on February 6. Faced with a staggering death toll and a lack of resources, residents had to hastily dig mass graves for their loved ones. We spoke to several volunteers in the region who told us more about the heartbreaking task of digging these graves and their inability to provide proper funeral services for victims of the quake.
