A Palestinian relative cries as mourners carry the bodies of three children who died in a domestic fire during their funeral during their funeral procession in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip on April 02, 2012. The three Palestinian children, aged two, five and six, all members of the Bashir family, were found dead on April 1 in a fire in their room caused by a candle being used due to lack of electricity in Gaza, according to an emergency services official as the Gaza Strip's sole power station shuddered to a halt a week ago, running out of fuel just 48 hours after some 450,000 litres were delivered to the coastal strip from Israel.
