The Palestinain Ministry of Health has decried Thursday that the Israeli army sent the remains of 100 Palestinians without identifying their names and places of residence, deeming it a repeated and inhumane crime.
The bodies and remains were returned to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in a container truck without coordination of official and international organizations in a way that degrades the dignity of the dead, the Ministry added.
Family members were seen gathering around the hospital and the truck, in a desperate attempt to find out who these bodies are, and if their missing children, who had been gone for the past year almost, were among them.
According to Gaza Civil Defense, the bodies were taken to their final resting place in a mass graveyard in the Turkish cemetery around Nasser Hospital.

Many of these people were abducted from displacement centres, kidnapped, tortured, and dehumanized by the Israeli army during the ground invasions.
None of the bodies were able to be identified because they were all deceased and sent back in fully skeletal shape with no signs to even help identify them.
This is the fifth time the Israeli military has returned the bodies of Palestinians believed to have been tortured and killed after being kidnapped from displacement centres.
During the Israeli Genocide in Gaza, the Israeli army exhumed thousands of graves and stole hundreds of dead bodies from cemeteries in northern and southern governorates.
More than 520 bodies of Palestinians, mostly skeleton, were recovered from seven mass graves that were dug by the Israeli army in hospitals during the course of war.
The government media office has strongly condemned the repeated and deliberate desecration of the martyrs’ bodies by the Israeli army, saying such atrocities contravene international law and undermines the legal procedures established to preserve the dignity of the deceased.
