Health Ministry refuses to receive 88 unidentified bodies returned to Gaza by Israel
Gaza’s Government Media Office says Israel has returned 88 bodies to the Gaza Strip without providing information on their identities and without the supervision of an international or local body.
In a statement, the office called this an “inhumane and criminal move” as Israel “refused” to disclose the names, ages or origins of the bodies.
“Consequently, the Palestinian Ministry of Health stopped the procedures for receiving the container until the information is complete, so that their families can identify them,” it added.
According to the Wafa news agency, hospitals said in a statement that the bodies must be received in conformity with humanitarian and international standards and in a manner that “preserves the dignity” of the deceased.
