Dozens more bodies have been recovered from a mass grave at a hospital in Khan Younis, according to the Gaza General Directorate of Civil Defense. The Civil Defense said 324 bodies had now been recovered at the Nasser Medical Complex following the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the area earlier this month.
In the latest recovery efforts, the bodies of 51 people of 'various categories and ages' had been recovered. Of them, 30 bodies were identified. Col. Yamen Abu Suleiman, Director of Civil Defense in Khan Younis, previously told that some of the bodies had been found with hands and feet tied, and there were signs of field executions.
'We do not know if they were buried alive or executed. Most of the bodies are decomposed,' he said. The Civil Defense said Wednesday that crews would continue search and recovery operations in the coming days.
