Israel sends 88 unidentifiable bodies to Gaza, Palestinians demand details before burying them
Gaza: Israel sent a truck filled with decomposed bodies of nearly 90 Palestinians to Gaza on Wednesday, which the territory's health ministry refused to bury, citing Israel’s failure to disclose information about who they are and where they were killed.
88 Palestinian bodies were brought into Gaza in a container loaded on a truck through an Israeli-controlled crossing, reported Reuters. However, no details were provided about the names or ages of the victims or locations where they died.
In a statement, the health ministry noted that they have halted the procedures to receive the container which carries the dead bodies until the completion of the full data and information about those bodies so their relatives can identify them.
“We reiterate that all families have the right to receive news about their loved ones and bury them respectfully and in line with their traditions,” International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) stated in a statement, as mentioned by the news agency. It added that under International Humanitarian Law, those who have died during an armed conflict must be handled with dignity and be properly managed.
