Volunteers Use Aerial Photos To Track Syrian Casualties
Volunteers in Syria are using alternative methods to document war casualties due to state-imposed information blackouts. These groups are visiting cemeteries to count new graves and utilizing aerial photography to monitor cemetery expansion. Some organizations, such as Média Zona, are analyzing succession registries to identify the deceased. These efforts aim to provide data in a society where official information is heavily constrained.
