Mass graves

Mass graves are burial sites where multiple bodies are buried together, often due to large-scale events like wars, genocides, or disasters. They are used when there isn't enough time, resources, or capacity to bury each person individually. While sometimes necessary in emergencies, they can also be associated with tragic human rights violations, and their discovery can provide insights into past atrocities or crises. Efforts are often made to identify the victims and document such sites for historical records and justice.
