Gaza Health: 80 bodies were found in 3 mass graves in the Shifa complex
The Ministry of Health in Gaza revealed that it found 80 bodies in 3 mass graves in the courtyards of the Shifa Medical Complex, in addition to dozens of bodies inside the complex’s sections.
The Health Ministry said that it has so far found more than 520 bodies in 7 mass graves in hospitals in the Gaza Strip.
It indicated that 310 medical personnel are detained by the Israeli occupation, demanding their immediate release.
The Ministry of Health pointed out that the apparent examination of the bodies exhumed from the mass graves showed that the largest number belonged to patients who were deprived of receiving health care.
It added, "We found bodies torn apart as a result of the occupation vehicles running over the bodies of the martyrs, and we found disembodied heads in the mass graves in the courtyards of the Shifa Complex."
In turn, the UN Security Council called for an immediate, independent and comprehensive investigation into reports of the discovery of mass graves in the Gaza Strip, stressing the need to allow investigators to access those sites and hold those responsible for these violations accountable.
A council statement yesterday, Friday, stated that members "expressed their deep concern over reports of the discovery of mass graves in and around Nasser Hospitals and the Shifa Complex in the Gaza Strip, where several hundred bodies were buried, including women, children, and the elderly," noting "the necessity of accountability."
