A volunteer digs up a body buried on the grounds at Saddam Children's park Nurse Villa Hospital in Bagdad. Islamic law states that a corpse must be buried within three days. During the war, so many unidentified bodies piled up at the hospital that they had to bury them outside the hospital. The volunteers dig up the dead so that the family can identify them and then take them away for a proper burial. (Chris Schneider/EW Scripps)
