"It is very difficult, people are scared. Everyone is traumatised because you can imagine, we know that when someone passes away, you bury them. While you are waiting to do that you hear the news that the bodies have been stolen. We dont know where the bodies are now. We just want to find those bodies because we need to bury my brother. It is so painful, I really dont know what to do.
