And now for something...well, I'll just copy what I found on twitter.
Quote:

Mohamed Awaja has tended the British & Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery in #Gaza for 28 years...



But the cemetery he cares for so well is itself in a battlefield today...




He has to deal with this-Israeli tank rounds hitting the British cemetery in #Gaza -this one didn't go off others did



He tends all the graves with the same great care in #Gaza whatever the British soldiers religion...
Thank you Mohamed, and the other men who work with you, and I hope that the war stays away from your corner of Gaza, a symbol that despite all the blood shed in the First World War, humanity as a whole, has still a lot to learn.
