Dozens of bodies exhumed at another mass grave in al-Shifa Hospital

Palestinian rescue workers are continuing to uncover bodies buried in mass graves on the grounds of al-Shifa Hospital. “We are removing the decomposing corpses of several martyrs,” Rami Dababesh told Al Jazeera as he took part in the exhumation work.

“They are decomposing and completely unrecognisable,” Dababesh said. “We’re finding headless corpses,” he said. “They have decomposed from the severity of the torture they suffered,” he added.





Mayor of Israeli town joins protest blocking aid into Gaza: Report

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports that protesters blocking Jordanian aid trucks from entering the Gaza Strip have been joined by the mayor of the southern Israeli town of Mitzpe Ramon, Elia Winter.

“Does it look reasonable to you that the State of Israel transfers medicine, food and fuel to terrorists who are abusing our daughters as we speak?” Haaretz quoted Winter as saying.

It also reported that Israeli police detained 25 people who had been protesting since Wednesday.
