Carrying the dead: the funeral procession on Friday for those killed fighting for the al-Ahmars in Hasaba this week.
We don’t get to see the funerals of government soldiers.
Men grieving over the dead outside the morgue before the funeral procession (see next post) carried the bodies back to the protest site.
Today’s mass funeral outside Sana’a University where people carried pictures of those killed on Friday. The dead were laid out in the midst of the largest crowd I’ve seen since anti-government protests began.
The dead being received by family and friends in the grounds of the Science and Technology hospital in Sana’a before a mass funeral took place today.
Quite possibly the most heart wrenching picture I’ve ever taken.
As the dead were removed from the morgue friends, family and relatives mourned over the bodies in the grounds of the hospital. But I found this tribesman, on his own and crying, with the body of his 24-year-old brother wrapped in a Yemeni flag, as men prayed for the dead behind him.
More pictures/video to follow from today’s mass funeral, but this one deserved to stand as he did - alone.
