Photographer Mahmoud Shalha and journalist Anas Al-Sharif document the discovery of a new mass grave within Al-Shifa Hospital complex. The victims appear to have been murdered during the most recent occupation of the complex, which lasted nearly 2 weeks. The exact death toll is still not known, as bodies keep being discovered. It is known that there were around 30,000 people sheltering, being treated, or working at the complex when the occupation invaded on 18 March. Many (~25,000) were forcibly expelled, some remained for the duration of the siege, but more and more bodies continue to be found. Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor reports that current estimates place the number of martyrs, missing, and seriously injured (often resulting in death) at 1500 people.
Photos under cut. Not particularly graphic, but very upsetting.

“Will I Remember This Time“
There were not enough moments
Captured in sand-grain, steel-handed
Red-light-digital-clocked moments
To which I told you (all)

Those moments, seconds, minutes, hours, days
Passed
At last, these days
I never told you (all)
I loved you
Will I recall
If you
Recall
To say to you (all)
I love you
Although you’re far and plenty few
I try to say, to show, I love you

на моих глазах зиму передвигали, как мебель. Смещали белые гарнитуры к лесу, скатывали ковры и на освободившееся место стелили апрель…"
“Waking up little by little, feeling the furious ultraviolet of spring on my skin, I stood on the step and marveled at what was happening:
before my eyes the winter was moved like furniture. They moved white sets to the forest, rolled up carpets and laid April in the vacant place … "
