What is going through their minds. "here is a great photo" or "I must get this recorded as a record of the disaster" or "the poor girl, a victim of the disaster as much as those killed at the time, I should cover her body as a mark of respect"

Being a non-judgemental witness shouldn't always be the only option.

You're assuming too much. How do you know who she is, what she did or didn't do, disaster? war? family feud?, maybe even a simple accident.
Cover the body for respect? Again, an assumption. Maybe if one of them did, it would be equivalent of defiling her in within that culture. Their lives would then be in danger.

I was watching an interview with a Photographer once whereby she saved a child from a clash between two armed men. She knew nothing about the situation. It turned out by doing that, she'd caused one of the two feuding tribes to assume the other had gotten a white woman involved. They attacked the second village killing dozens soon after.
