Bodies buried in cemetery tunnels
A beehive-like structure built deep underground in Jerusalem is providing an innovative solution for the holy city’s chronic shortage of burial space.
Tunnels stretching more than half a mile long beneath Jerusalem’s main cemetery have been carefully excavated over the past two years to make room for some 22,000 graves – enough space to meet the city’s needs for the next decade.
