Mass grave ‘a new level of criminality’
Watching the investigation into mass graves takes us to a whole new nightmarish level. Even the unravelling genocide over the past six months on our TV screen does not measure. This is a new level of criminality that I thought the Israelis were too smart to get involved with.
Israel might be able to resist this politically and legally, but this is going to enter history.
The ugliness and the tragedy of the scenes and the mindset behind it – done by the Israelis against the hospital, against the refugee camp – is something that we have never seen before and that is something that is going to stay with us for a while.
- There are three mass graves at the grounds of Nasser Hospital, together holding at least 392 bodies that were “stacked together”.
- The majority of the bodies cannot be identified, either because they are too badly decomposed or mutilated, according to the Palestinian Civil Defence.
- Some bodies show signs of being executed or tortured. Up to 20 bodies may have been buried alive, say civil defence officials.
- Children and hospital patients were among those buried in the graves, with some of them found still with hospital tubes used in operating or recovery rooms.
Gaza civil defence ready to cooperate with independent investigation of mass graves
Palestinian Civil Defence member Mohammed al-Moghier says his team is ready to prepare an evidential report for an independent investigation into the mass graves discovered at Gaza’s Nasser Hospital.
"This can be the foundation for work to be conducted by an international investigation committee – we are ready to help their work in order to push the Israelis to refrain from committing crimes against people in Gaza,” al-Moghier told Al Jazeera.
Al-Mughier also described the effect of working for the past months in Gaza, saying some aid workers are traumatised after failing to save people they tried to rescue. “Some of our members are suffering traumas, which is impacting the way we can carry our work,” he said.
Others were infected with diseases when they exhumed dead bodies from under the rubble without necessary precaution due to the lack of equipment, he added.
First 10 results on CNN for Gaza Hamas war, nothing about the mass graves. The US is trying to bury this news as the Israelis try to bury their war crimes.
