Gaza Health Ministry refuses to receive 88 unidentified bodies returned 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, Al Jazeera reports.

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.
