The Palestinian Health Ministry refused on Wednesday to receive the bodies of 88 martyrs from the Israeli occupation army.
The Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday that it halted the process of receiving the bodies in protest against the Israeli violation of humanitarian and international standards of respecting human dignity.
“With the arrival of a container containing approximately 88 bodies from the Israeli occupation, with no data or information indicating their names and the locations where they were killed, the Palestinian Ministry of Health halted the procedures to receive the container until the completion of full data and information about these bodies so that their families can identify them,” the statement explained
The Ministry of Health called on the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to carry out its duties in accordance with the internationally applicable protocol regarding receiving and delivering bodies of the dead, with full data and information about each body in terms of names, ages, and the locations from which these bodies were recovered.
It also stressed the necessity of receiving the bodies according to humanitarian and international standards and in a manner that preserves the dignity of the dead.
