The bodies of Armenian victims of the October 30, 1895 massacre were interred on November 2 in a communal grave in the Gregorian Cemetery in Erzurum, Turkey, as the congregation looked on.

   The bodies of Armenian victims of the October 30, 1895 massacre were buried on November 2 in a communal grave in the Gregorian cemetery in Erzeroum, Turkey, as the congregation looked on. Armenians arrived at the deep trench with heavy burdens on their backs and handed over the bodies to their comrades. On all sides of the large communal cemetery, there were crowds of Armenians staring anxiously at the graves of the graves. A large trench communal cemetery was dug to bury the bodies of about 350 Armenians. No funerals were held at all.

 A line of dead Armenian genocide victims buried in the mass grave at the Armenian cemetery in Erzurum was formed: four men laid the bodies in the ground, while others with shovels stood by. Mourners lined the communal cemetery, and tall trees could be seen behind them. Along the northern wall, in a row about 6 meters wide and 45 meters long, lay 321 massacred Armenian corpses.

 The Erzurum massacre was sparked by Ottoman soldiers, and local Muslims joined in the slaughter. Turkish soldiers actively enforced the massacre of Armenians in and around Erzeroum, Turkey. Armenian stores and houses were looted. Approximately 60,000+ Armenians were massacred. Not only in Ezeroum, but also in Trebizond, , Erzingian, Hassankare, and numerous other places, Christian Armenians were crushed like grapes.

 William Sachtleben witnessed the aftermath of the massacre and took photographs of the victims in the Armenian cemetery. He wrote three long and detailed letters to the massacre, which were published as unsigned correspondents in the London Times on November 16 and 27 and December 9. The Hamidian massacre, also known as the Armenian Genocide, was a massacre of Armenians that broke out in the Ottoman Empire in the mid-1890s. Estimates of the number of victims ranged from about 100,000 to 300,000, with about 50,000 orphans. Although the massacres were primarily aimed at Armenians, some 25,000 Assyrians were also killed, deployed in indiscriminate anti-Christian pogroms such as the Diyarbekir massacre. 


トルコのエルズルム(Erzeroum)のグレゴリアン墓地に、会葬者たちが見守る中で、1895年10月30日に虐殺されたアルメニア人の犠牲者の死体が共同墓地に11月2日に埋葬された。アルメニア人が、重荷を背負って深い塹壕に到着し、死体を仲間に手渡した。大きな共同墓地の四方には、不安そうな顔で墓の墓を見つめるアルメニア人の群衆がいた。約350人のアルメニア人の死体を埋葬するために大きな溝の共同墓地が掘られた。葬儀はまったく行われなかった。

 エルズルムのアルメニア人墓地にある集団墓地に埋葬されたアルメニア人の虐殺犠牲者の死体の列ができた。4人の男が死体を地面に安置して、シャベルを持った他の男たちが立ち止まった。共同墓地には弔問客が列をなし、背後には高い木々が見えた。北側の壁に沿って、幅約6m、長さ約45mの列をなして、虐殺されたアルメニア人の死体321体が横たわった。

 エルズルムの虐殺は、オスマントルコ軍兵士によって勃発して、地元のイスラム教徒も虐殺に加わった。トルコ軍兵士は、トルコのエルゼロウムと周囲で、アルメニア人の虐殺に積極的に執行した。アルメニア人の商店や家屋は略奪された。約6万人以上のアルメニア人が虐殺された。エゼロウムだけでなく、トレビゾンド、、エルジンギアン、ハッサンカレ、その他多数の場所で、キリスト教徒のアルメニア人は、ブドウの実のように押しつぶされた。




 ウィリアム・サハトルベンは虐殺の余波を目撃し、アルメニア人墓地で犠牲者の写真を撮影した。虐殺に3通の長く詳細な手紙を書き、11月16日と27日と12月9日に、ロンドン・タイムズ紙に無署名の特派員として掲載された。ハミディアンの虐殺は、アルメニア人の虐殺とも呼ばれ、1890年代半ばにオスマン帝国にて勃発したアルメニア人の虐殺である。犠牲者の推定は約10万人から30万人で、約5万人の孤児を出した。虐殺は主にアルメニア人を狙ったが、ディヤルベキルの虐殺など、無差別の反キリスト教のポグロムに展開して、約25,000人のアッシリア人も殺害された。

An American prisoner of the Japanese found where he died at the Davao Penal Colony, in the Philippines. He was trying to get a drink of water from a deep sink in the surgical section of the hospital when he died. He was one of 75 victims found at the camp when it was liberated.

  The body of an American soldier captured by the Japanese in the Pacific War was found at the Dapecol POW camp in the Davao penal colony southeast of Mindanao, Philippines, which was liberated in May 1945. He died in a standing position while attempting to drink water from a deep basin in the hospital's surgical operating room. It was a tragic last drink of water for him in his final days. His body was one of 75 victims found when the POW camp in Davao was liberated.

 The body of a captured white American soldier was found at a Japanese POW camp in the Davao penal colony on the Philippine island of Mindanao during World War II. The corpse was taken by the U.S. military at the Davao penal colony on the island of Mindanao. The body was one of 75 bodies found inside the POW camp building at the Davao penal colony. The body of a white American male was presumed to have fallen to his death in a standing position while trying to get a drink from a deep basin in the hospital's surgical operating room.

 Approximately 75 unburied prisoners' bodies of varying degrees of decomposition were discovered at an evacuation center in Davao, Philippines, which was used by the Japanese as a POW camp. In the Pacific War, Japanese forces occupied Davao City on December 20, 1942. During the Philippine campaign in the Pacific War, about 2,000 American soldiers were held in a POW camp in Davao. Approximately 1,200 U.S. soldiers and 16,000 Filipino soldiers died there.

 In the fighting around Davao City from late April to mid-June 1944, the U.S. forces lost about 350 dead and 1,615 wounded. Japanese forces suffered about 4,500 dead and 30 prisoners of war. Heavy fighting also took place elsewhere in the state, with many more soldiers from both armies suffering horrific losses. By the time the Japanese forces withdrew from Davao, they were nearly decimated by the fighting.

During the Battle of the Green Islands in the Pacific War, about 120 Japanese soldiers were killed in action and wiped out. Bodies of Japanese soldiers killed by New Zealand and American troops littered the jungle.

  During the Battle of the Green Islands in the Pacific War, about 120 Japanese soldiers were killed in action and were annihilated. The bodies of Japanese soldiers killed by New Zealand and U.S. forces were scattered in the jungles of Green Island. Nissan Island, the largest of the Greenland Islands, also known as Green Island, was horseshoe-shaped. The remaining Japanese troops fought to the death, and were annihilated and crushed, with no one surrendering.

 The invasion of the Green Islands broke out from February 15 to February 20, 1944, when approximately 5,800 New Zealand and US allied troops landed on Green Island. The Green Islands are a small island located about 200 kilometers directly east of Rabaul and northwest of Buka Island. The Japanese force consisted of 12 naval observers and about 80 army personnel from Hitoshi Imamura's 8th Area Army, which had landed by submarine in early February. This small force was further augmented, reaching about 120 men. An air base was established in the Green Islands to bomb Kavieng on New Ireland Island. There was a Japanese naval lookout post in the Green Islands, and the southeast fleet in Rabaul, sensing signs of an Allied landing, hurriedly dispatched a squadron of Japanese land forces. In about three days of fighting, they were almost completely wiped out. The Japanese made a final counterattack on February 19.

 When the Allied forces landed on the coast on February 15 and set up positions, the Japanese forces around Shiroto Island resisted for a short time. The next day, February 16, New Zealand troops began to cross the island and invade inland. Around a church on the southern tip of the island near Tanaheran, they encountered a group of about 70 Japanese troops. The Japanese group was overrun in a few days by New Zealand troops supported by tanks, killing about 62 Japanese soldiers; further ground fighting took place on February 19, and on February 20, Green Island was finally declared safe and retaken from a completely outnumbered Japanese force of about 120 to 150 men. Although organized Japanese resistance ceased on February 23, mopping-up operations continued until the end of February. About 120 of the total Japanese soldiers were killed in all. Allied casualties were 13 killed and 26 wounded.

On October 19, 2023, the bodies of seven small Palestinian children, wrapped in plastic and covered with sheets, were laid to rest in the morgue in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. Palestinian civilians surrounded the bodies of the children.

   Palestinian civilians packed the morgue in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip on October 19, 2023. At the morgue, the bodies of seven small Palestinian children, wrapped in plastic and covered with sheets, were laid to rest. The bodies were surrounded by a crowd of Palestinian civilians. Blood stains were exposed on the faces of the dead children, who appeared to be sleeping. Palestinian civilians watched from the periphery as the bodies of children killed in the shelling of the Gaza Strip by Israeli forces were laid to rest.  

 In the aftermath of the Israeli bombardment, Palestinian residents dug through piles of shattered concrete blocks with their bare hands to find the victims. A group of men digging through the rubble in the flatlands of Khan Younis city in the southern Gaza Strip in the Palestinian Authority found a Palestinian corpse first by hand and then another by hand. From the broken cement blocks and dust, they pulled up the body of 11-year-old Shira Hamdan. Her sister, 9-year-old Tila's body was pushed under it. According to Gaza health officials, an Israeli bomb attack on the night of October 17 destroyed about 15 homes in the area, killing at least 37 people.

 The men wrapped the children in flowery sheets and carried them to the back of a recovery truck. In a smaller truck, a body was cradled in the arms of one man still. The bodies were taken to the morgue, where they lay alongside a dozen other victims wrapped in funeral white cloths, and Palestinian families wept.

 The deaths of the children came as the war took a heavy toll on the overwhelmingly young population of the Gaza Strip. About half of the Gaza Strip's population of 2.3 million are children, many of whom were born during Israel's nearly 16-year strict blockade of the Gaza Strip. Now they have seen Israeli bombs destroy their neighborhoods.

 Palestinian health officials say more than 1,400 people were killed in Israel on October 7, when Israeli forces began shelling the Gaza Strip in retaliation for a Hamas terror attack that took more than 220 people hostage. At least 2,704 children were killed. An estimated 830 more children were still trapped in the rubble in the Gaza Strip. Of the 10,515 people killed in Gaza since the conflict began in the Strip, about 4,263 children have died, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said on November 6.

About seven years after the Hiroshima atomic bomb exploded on August 6, 1945, a mother died of leukemia stemming from atomic bomb disease at a mother-child treatment center in Motomachi, Hiroshima. The boys, orphaned children whose mothers died of A-bomb disease, mourned by offering incense at the memorial service.

  About seven years after the Hiroshima atomic bomb was dropped and exploded on August 6, 1945, a mother died of leukemia resulting from the atomic bombing at a mother-child treatment center in Motomachi, Hiroshima. The mother died of A-bomb disease, and the remaining orphaned children, boys and girls, laid incense at the memorial service. The boys were about two years old when their mother was exposed to the bomb, and they had no knowledge or memory of the Hiroshima atomic bomb. The damage caused by the atomic bomb was still continuing after the war.

 The Maternal and Child Dormitories are child welfare facilities that provide comprehensive support for women in single-mother households and other families raising children under the age of 18, including living, housing, childcare, and employment, so that they can live safely with their children and become self-reliant. The requirements for admission are women without a spouse or women in similar circumstances, mothers and children who have various problems in their lives and need support in raising their children. Under the Child Welfare Law, the Child Welfare Center is an institution for the purpose of admitting women without a spouse or women in equivalent circumstances and children under their care, protecting them, supporting their daily lives to promote their independence, and providing counseling and other assistance to those who have left the institution. 1998 In 1998, the name was changed from "Maternal and Child Dormitories" to "Maternal and Child Living Support Facilities" in accordance with the revision of Article 38 of the Child Welfare Law.

 In 1938, the Ministry of Health and Welfare was established and the Maternal and Child Protection Law was enacted. In 1949, the Diet passed a resolution to increase the number of nursing homes, mother-child dormitories, and day-care centers, and in 1947, there were 212 mother-child dormitories, and by 2023, there will be 215 mother-child living support facilities with a capacity of 4,000 children. In 2023, there were 215 mother and child living support facilities with a capacity of 4,441 families, and the current number of families was 3,135, showing a downward trend. At the end of the war, the overwhelming majority of families were bereaved mothers and children who had lost their homes due to the war or the death of their husbands in the war. The mother-child dormitories provided postwar measures and support for mothers and children in dire need of "a roof over their heads, a place to sleep, and a place to live," who had lost their husbands, homes, and families due to the war. In the postwar period, the number of "bereaved mothers and children" increased from "bereaved mothers and children" to "living mothers and children" due to divorce and other reasons, and the use of complex and diverse living issues increased from housing issues.

A U.S. Army soldier of Merrill's Marders stares at the body of a Japanese soldier he killed during the Battle of Burma, late February to early August 1944, a constant struggle against disease, leeches, insects, harsh terrain, and weather.

    A member of Merrill's Marauders of the U.S. Army look at the bodies of Japanese soldiers they killed in the Battle of Burma. Most of the Merrill Marauders personnel were skilled combatants who had volunteered for battle duty in Burma. Merrill Marauders members of the U.S. Army Combat Team fought with the Japanese as a spearhead battalion and entered the war deep behind Japanese lines. His time in combat in Burma was from late February to early August 1944, and his fight against the Japanese in Burma was a constant struggle against disease, leeches, insects, harsh terrain, and weather.

 At the Quebec Conference in August 1943, a decision was made to launch a long-range U.S. invasion behind Japanese lines in Burma to reopen the roads while destroying and disrupting Japanese supply lines and communications networks. President Roosevelt issued a presidential directive calling for volunteers for the dangerous mission. Approximately 3,000 U.S. soldiers responded to the call for volunteers. The unit's official name was the 5307th Composite Unit, and its code name was later given to the unit by its commander, Brigadier General Frank Merrill, who named it the Merrill Marters.

 Recruitment for the Merrill-Marters unit began on September 1, 1943 and disbanded on August 10, 1944. It was the U.S. Army's 5307th Mixed Force, organized and trained for long-range invasions to the rear in Japanese-controlled Burma. Approximately 2997 U.S. soldiers, commanded by Brigadier General Merrill, were referred to as Merrill's Raiders.


 Merrill's Raiders entered the war on February 24, 1944, in the first operation, with 2,750 men, and after the capture of Wallaubum on March 7, 1944, about 2,500 remained; in the second operation, from March 12 to April 9, 67 were killed and 379 were evacuated because of wounds and disease. The 5307th, reduced to about 2,000 men, was augmented by Chinese and Kachin native soldiers for the operation to take Myitkyina Airfield in the third operation on April 28. At the time of its seizure the unit was reduced by half to about 1,310 men; from May 17 to June 1 most of the troops suffered from sickness and were evacuated by air to hospitals in the rear. After the town of Myitkyina was occupied, about 200 of the original Galahad contingent remained.

 From February to May 1944, during Operation Marters, they worked closely with the 22nd and 38th Chinese Divisions to recapture northern Burma and to open the Ledo (Ledo) Road, which connected the Indian Railway Base to the old Burma Road to China. Kachin native soldiers were the militia that marched and fought through the jungle and over the mountains from the Hukaung Valley in northwestern Burma to Myitkyina on the Irrawaddy River. in five major battles and 30 smaller ones, Merrill Matters units clashed with Japanese 18th Division soldiers as they invaded. By invading in the rear of the main Japanese units, they disrupted supply lines and communications, paving the way for the southward advance of Chinese troops. The culmination of the Mater's campaign was the capture of Myitkyina Airfield, the only all-weather airfield in northern Burma, and the final victory for the 5307th Mixed Division, which was disbanded in August 1944. At the end of the operation, all members of the Marters' unit were evacuated to hospitals, suffering from tropical diseases, fatigue, malnutrition, and all manner of accumulations.

On February 1, 1968, just after the Tet Offensive of the Vietnam War, the bodies of Viet Cong guerrillas killed by U.S. and South Vietnamese troops piled up around Tan Son Nhat Air Base in the South Vietnamese capital of Saigon.

  Bodies of Viet Cong (South Vietnam Liberation Front) guerrillas killed by U.S. and South Vietnamese troops piled up around Tan Son Nhat Air Base in Saigon, capital of South Vietnam, on February 1, 1968, just after the Tet Offensive in the Vietnam War.   

 The Tet Offensive between the North Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong broke out on January 31, 1968. Tet (Vietnamese New Year), the explosion of firecrackers masked the sound of gunfire and provided an element of surprise to the Viet Cong offensive. South Vietnam's National Liberation Front (Viet Cong, NLF) forces and the People's Army of Vietnam (North Vietnamese Army) fought against the armies of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam), the United States, and its allies.On January 31, 1968, the Viet Cong (VC) launched the Tet Offensive The capital Saigon was the scene of the Tet Offensive. The capital Saigon was the center of the Tet Offensive. The complete capture of the capital Saigon was unintended and unrealizable. The 35 Viet Cong (VC) battalions attacked Saigon and temporarily offensive was launched at six points: the Army of the Republic of South Vietnam (ARVN) Joint Chiefs of Staff near Tan Son Nhat International Airport, the Independence Palace, the US Embassy, Tan Son Nhut Air Base, Long Binh Navy Headquarters, and the National Radio Station.

 The attack on Tan Son Nhut Air Base, which housed the headquarters of the Vietnamese Air Force (RVNAF) and the U.S. Air Force (USAF) 7th Air Force, occurred in the early morning hours of January 31, 1968. Tan Son Nhat Air Base was one of the major air bases supporting offensive air operations within South Vietnam and ground operations of the U.S. Army and the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN). Attacks by Viet Cong (VC) and People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) units were among the major assaults on Saigon in the first few days of the Tet Offensive. The Tet Offensive was repulsed with heavy losses to the Viet Cong and Vietnamese People's Army (VC/PAVN), while only superficial damage was inflicted on six points.

On the Eastern Front of World War II, the bodies of many German soldiers killed in action in February 1944, shortly after the siege of Leningrad was liberated, were left near Leningrad and covered with snow.

  On the Eastern Front of World War II, the bodies of numerous German soldiers killed in action in February 1944, shortly after the liberation of the Siege of Leningrad, were left in the vicinity of Leningrad and covered with snow.

 During the blockade of the Siege of Leningrad, Boris Kudoyarov, a battlefield reporter for Komsomolskaya Pravda, worked on the front lines with Soviet soldiers in Leningrad, a city besieged by German troops for nearly 900 days straight. Based on documentary and photographic works, Boris Kudoyarov created the Leningrad Cycle, a classic of military photographic reportage, describing the siege of Leningrad.

 Kudyarov's photographs include approximately 3,000 pictures dedicated to the blockade of Leningrad. The book presents a thematic overview of the horrific war that lasted approximately 900 days. He considered it his duty to photograph the events of the war as much as possible. Characteristic of his work were complex photographic solutions and verified compositional integrity, reflecting the essence of the war events depicted. It was a direct and natural response of the photographic press. Boris Kudyarov created details of the unparalleled courage of Leningrad's inhabitants and the horrific details of life under siege by the Germans at a time when death was commonplace.

  The Siege of Leningrad was an 872-day long military blockade conducted by German and Axis forces against the Soviet city of Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) on the Eastern Front of World War II, from September 8, 1944 to January 27, 1944. German troops suffered approximately 579,985 casualties. Soviet soldiers suffered approximately 1,017,881 dead, captured, or missing, and 2,418,185 were wounded and sick in action. About 1,042,000 Soviet civilians were killed, approximately 642,000 during the siege and 400,000 during the evacuation.

  The heavily fortified German resistance stronghold, surrounded on both sides, was stormed on the morning of January 17, 1944, and the German defenses collapsed; on January 27, the blockade was finally released after the Germans were overwhelmed and driven back; on January 27, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin officially declared the siege over. The Siege of Leningrad became one of the longest and most destructive sieges in history, with many casualties and the highest casualties.

On July 26, 1944, during the Battle of Guam in the Pacific War, approximately 2,500 Japanese soldiers were wiped out and killed in the carnage of American forces on the Orote Peninsula, and the bodies of hundreds of Japanese soldiers were scattered.

     On July 26, 1944, during the Battle of Guam in the Pacific War, approximately 2,500 Japanese soldiers were killed in action when they were wiped out in a killing spree by American forces on the Orote Peninsula. The bodies of hundreds of Japanese soldiers were scattered on the Orote Peninsula. The Japanese soldiers' contribution to the defense of Guam ended when they delayed the linking of two American landing parties and the opening of Apra Harbor for several days. The U.S. casualties to the Marines were approximately 153 dead and missing. The Battle of Guam broke out with the American landing on July 21 and ended on August 10. About 18,500 Japanese troops were killed in action and about 1,250 prisoners of war were captured. The U.S. forces lost approximately 2,124 killed in action and 5,676 wounded.

   On July 21, U.S. forces landed on both sides of the Orote Peninsula west of Guam to secure Apra Harbor. After heavy fighting, U.S. forces declared the Orote Peninsula under control on July 29, 1944. An estimated 3,000 Japanese soldiers were killed defending the Orote Peninsula. All Japanese soldiers were literally wiped out in a fierce flesh attack. The American forces suffered many casualties on the beaches where they landed. The U.S. forces had a difficult time capturing the Vertical Depth Camp, and the Japanese forces' stubborn resistance, which had the advantage of the terrain, led to a continuous back-and-forth offensive and defense. The Japanese forces launched a sortie from the Rikuchu position and repeatedly attacked the U.S. Marines in heavy night raids.

 On July 21, the U.S. forces began landing on Guam. In the Guam offensive, the American forces overwhelmingly outnumbered the Japanese. In the first day and night of fighting, the Japanese lost more than half of their soldiers, and on July 25, the Japanese forces burned their regimental flags and launched a night assault banzai attack on the American positions on the night of July 25. The Japanese soldiers suffered heavy casualties and finally lost their ability to fight, and on the night of July 30, they made a final banzai charge, crushed to pieces, and were annihilated.

     The U.S. Army's control of the Orote Peninsula resulted in the loss of about 95% of the approximately 3,500 Japanese troops. The number of U.S. Marine casualties is   unknown, but it was estimated at 200 to 300 dead and hundreds wounded. The Japanese fought a defensive battle while being pushed to the north. Attempts to withdraw Japanese forces from the Orote Peninsula were unsuccessful. Those who survived were trapped on the Orote Peninsula, and were in a desperate situation.

Approximately 100,000 Jews were murdered by the German SS Einsatzgruppen, local Lithuanian militia, police, and German national self-defense forces from July 1941 to August 1944 in Ponary, near Vilna, Lithuania, on the east coast of the Baltic Sea.

  During the Eastern Front of World War II, approximately 100,000 Jews were murdered by the German SS Einsatzgruppen, local Lithuanian militia, police, and German national self-defense forces in Ponary, near Vilna, Lithuania, on the east coast of the Baltic Sea. The bodies were exhumed in 1944 after the liberation of Vilna.

  The Ponary Massacre (Paneriai) was a massacre of up to 100,000 people, mostly Jews, Poles, and Russians, by German military intelligence, SS, and Lithuanian collaborators during World War II in Litauen, the headquarters of the Ostland Reich General Headquarters.

Israeli forces bombed the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, Palestinian territory, on October 31, 2023. Palestinian residents recovered the bodies of Palestinian refugees from the rubble of the refugee camp on November 1, 2023.

 Israeli forces bombed the Jabalia (Jabalia) refugee camp in northern Gaza, Palestinian territory, on October 31, 2023. Palestinian residents of northern Gaza recovered a dead Palestinian refugee from the rubble of the refugee camp on November 1. According to the Israel Defense Forces and Palestinian health officials, since Hamas militants launched their attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip on October 7 and subsequent Israeli military operations in Gaza and the West Bank, some 8,500 Palestinians and at least 1,400 Israelis have been have been killed. Jabalia, with an area of 1.4 square kilometers, was the largest of the eight refugee camps in the Gaza Strip and was home to about 116,000 registered refugees. Jabalia was established in 1948 to shelter Palestinian refugees during the fighting that accompanied the establishment of the State of Israel.

 Israeli forces justified their attack on the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, which claimed the destruction of the Hamas militant organization's underground command center and caused numerous civilian Palestinian casualties; a ground operation by Israeli forces against the Hamas militant organization began on October 27. In the middle of the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, like a whirlwind, all the surrounding buildings and creatures collapsed.On November 1, Palestinian residents searched for bodies in a mess of dust and rubble after Israeli forces bombed the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.The second airstrike, on November 1 On the morning of November 2, the Gaza Ministry of Health announced that a total of about 195 people were killed, about 777 injured, and about 120 missing in the Jabalia refugee camp, which was struck twice in a row. camp unattacked.

 Many houses in the bombed area, which Israeli forces said had underground tunnels, cratered to the ground on impact after the attack, causing the surrounding houses to collapse. Israeli forces reportedly targeted Hamas militia commanders and killed about 50 militiamen hiding in underground tunnels in the northern Gaza Strip. Hamas militants shelled the Israeli army's Jabalia refugee camp on October 31, killing seven hostages they were holding, Hamas reported. At least five refugee camps in the coastal enclave were attacked.

Professor Chuta Tamagawa performed a pathological autopsy on a deceased Hibakusha in a board shed near the Hiroshima Teishin Hospital on October 11, 1945. He performed pathological autopsies on Hibakusha who were exposed to the Hiroshima atomic bomb dropped and exploded on August 6, 1945, and died of atomic bomb sickness at Hiroshima Teishin Hospital.

    Immediately after the atomic bomb exploded in Hiroshima, a temporary autopsy room was set up at the Hiroshima Hospital for Disaster Relief to perform pathological autopsies on A-bomb survivors who had died of atomic bomb-related diseases. The temporary autopsy room was part of a ward set up in a rapidly increasing number of hospitals to isolate A-bomb survivors suspected of having dysentery based on the use of blood in their stools. After being released from suspicion of dysentery, it became a temporary autopsy room.

 Professor Chuta Tamagawa performed pathological autopsies on deceased A-bomb survivors on October 11, 1945 in a board shed near the Hiroshima Teishin Hospital. He was exposed to the Hiroshima atomic bomb when it was dropped and exploded on August 6, and died of atomic bomb sickness at Hiroshima Teishin Hospital. Professor Tamagawa of the Hiroshima Medical College recorded the pathological autopsies of A-bomb survivors from August 29 to October 13. As his assistant, Dr. Shuzuo Miyasho of the Department of Internal Medicine recorded the pathological autopsy.

 Autopsy records of pathological autopsies of A-bomb victims survived from immediately after the atomic bomb exploded and destroyed Hiroshima on August 6. Professor Tamagawa of the Hiroshima Medical College conducted 19 pathological autopsies between August 29 and October 13, and all of the autopsy records have survived. The autopsies were conducted in a wooden hut near the Hiroshima Teishin Hospital (Naka Ward, Hiroshima City). The autopsies became a valuable record of pathology examining the early effects of radiation from the atomic bomb. They are kept by the Molecular Pathology Laboratory of the Graduate School of Molecular Pathology, now Hiroshima University, which had Prof. Tamagawa as its first professor.

  Tamagawa (1897-1970) was transferred from an assistant professor at Okayama Medical College to a professor at Hiroshima Medical College in the spring of 1945, following the approval of the Hiroshima Medical College. on August 6, he was in Akita Takata City, the current site of the evacuation of Hiroshima Medical College. on August 8, he entered Hiroshima City. He asked the Hiroshima Prefectural Government for permission to perform a pathological autopsy, but was denied.


 On August 27, he left for Hiroshima City again, saying, "I have received reports of alopecia, subcutaneous hemorrhage, and a series of unknown lesions, so there is not a moment to lose. He requested the cooperation of Michihiko Hachiya, a junior colleague at Okayama Medical University and director of Hiroshima Telecommunications Hospital. Director Michihiko Hachiya put up a notice in the hospital warning against "atomic sickness" and felt the need for a pathological autopsy. Professor Tamagawa performed the pathological autopsy in a wooden barracks that had been built by the Ujina Army Ship Command's Dawn Unit in the backyard of Hiroshima Teishin Hospital. By October 13, he had dissected 19 cases. The hospital doctors who had been demobilized and students from Okayama Medical University who had come to help served as assistants and wrote down their dictations.

 The paper, "Autopsy Records of 19 Cases of Atomic Bomb Sickness in Hiroshima City," was published in the Science Council of Japan's "Report on the Atomic Bomb Disaster," which was published in 1953 after the end of the GHQ occupation. Professor Tamagawa of the Hiroshima University School of Medicine discovered cancer transformation in the epidermis of patients with keloids from the atomic bombing, and pathology and tissue specimens confiscated by GHQ were returned to Japan from the U.S. Army Institute of Pathology in 1973 and kept by the former Hiroshima University Institute of Original Medicine and others.

Citizens of Manila, Philippines, were gunned down by the Japanese military in February 1945 for alleged guerrilla activities. Japanese forces massacred a number of non-combatant Manila civilians as anti-Japanese resistance fighters as the fierce fighting continued in the city of Manila.

  Citizens of Manila, Philippines were gunned down by the Japanese Army in February 1945 for alleged guerrilla activities. The Japanese massacred many non-combatant Manila civilians as anti-Japanese resistance fighters as the fierce fighting continued in Manila City, and ordered a Japanese battalion dated February 13, 1945, to gather Filipinos in one place when killing them so as not to waste ammunition and manpower. He further ordered that the dead Filipinos be collected in buildings and incinerated or thrown into the river. The massacre of guerrilla suspects broke out with the massacre of about 115 Filipinos at the Dipac lumberyard on February 3, the first day of the Battle of Manila; from February 9, the massacre shifted from individual attacks on guerrilla suspects to an organized massacre.

 The Manila Massacre, also known as the Rape of Manila, was an atrocity committed by Japanese forces against Filipino civilians in the Philippine capital city of Manila during the Battle of Manila (February 3, 1945 - March 3, 1945), which occurred at the end of World War II. The total number of civilians killed by Japanese as well as American artillery and gunfire was estimated at at least 100,000. U.S. military operations may have caused about 40% of the total number of Filipino noncombatant deaths during the fighting.

 The month-long battle of Manila resulted in the deaths of nearly 100,000 more civilians and the complete devastation of the city. It was the site of the worst urban battle fought by American forces in the Pacific War. Japanese forces committed mass murder against Filipino civilians during the battle, and American armed forces killed many of their own people in the process. In the Battle of Manila, approximately 1,010 American soldiers were killed in action and 5,565 were wounded. Japanese soldiers were annihilated with approximately 16,665 killed in action.

 Japanese soldiers were subjected to constant U.S. bombardment and faced certain death in battle and capture. The beleaguered Japanese forces took out their anger and frustration on the Filipino civilians who were caught in the crossfire. They committed a number of violent atrocities that became the Manila Massacre. To protect their positions, the Japanese pushed Filipino women and children to the front lines as human shields. Surviving Filipinos were killed by the Japanese. Japanese soldiers slaughtered the surviving Filipinos by lobbing grenades into dugouts and trenches, by rifle fire, and by bayonet thrusts. The Japanese massacre in Manila was comparable to the Nanking Massacre of 1937-38.

Two nights before the hanging, two German SS men were shot dead from the cemetery. All the suspects who were hanged were captured in the area around the cemetery. A cameraman attached to the German propaganda unit filmed the massacre.

  From April 6 to April 18, 1941, Panchevo was occupied during the German invasion of Yugoslavia; on April 12, 1941, Wehrmacht soldiers and others were attacked by three members of the Royal Yugoslav Army before the state surrendered. Nine Volksdeutsche (Volksdeutsche) members of the paramilitary Mannschaft and members of Das Reich, a division of the SS SS, were attacked. In retaliation for the attack, 36 Serbs were killed by hanging and shooting. The invasion of Yugoslavia was a German-led attack on the Kingdom of Yugoslavia by Axis forces during World War II that began on April 6, 1941 and ended with the occupation on April 18.
