In the fight against the radical Islamic Hamas, the Israeli army also attacked several hospitals months ago. These are said to have housed Hamas command centers and fighters. Members of the Palestinian Civil Defense have now discovered mass graves at the site of the two destroyed facilities – after the army withdrew. The United Nations is concerned.
According to a spokeswoman, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, was shocked by reports of mass graves in the Gaza Strip. Given the level of destruction at the Nasser hospitals in Khan Younis and Al-Shifa hospitals in Gaza City, and reports of mass graves containing hundreds of bodies, it is necessary to sound the alarm, Turkish spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani said on Tuesday.
Some bodies were tied up
Apparently several bodies have been discovered. “Some of them had their hands tied, which obviously indicates serious violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law and should be subject to further investigation.” The UN High Commissioner is working to obtain confirmation of the reports from the Palestinian side. According to them, 283 bodies were found in Nasser and 30 in Al Shifa, including women and children. They were buried under mountains of rubbish.
Israeli army: bodies exhumed in search of hostages
The Israeli army rejects accusations that it is responsible for mass graves and executions. Instead, soldiers dug up the bodies in search of the remains of Israeli hostages. “The claim that the IDF (Israeli Armed Forces) buried Palestinian bodies is baseless and baseless,” the military said. After the investigation, the bodies were returned to their graves.
In fact, the hospital grounds were used as a temporary grave for countless dead, as the bombing and fighting made it far too dangerous to go to the cemeteries. The director of civil protection in Khan Younis told CNN that there were even “signs of executions.” However, this information has not yet been independently verified.
Hundreds of bodies now “missing”
CNN reports on numerous families who were unable to find their buried relatives after the withdrawal of Israeli troops. According to reports, 400 bodies are still considered ‘missing’.
