Israel Returned Bodies After Vital Organs Stolen, Mutilated: Gaza Media Office

Around 80 bodies of Palestinians killed by the Israeli army were returned to the Gaza Strip on Tuesday through the Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing. They were received by the Ministry of Health.

The Government Media Office in Gaza said the bodies had been delivered “mutilated” and accused the Israelis of removing “vital organs from them”.

According to reports, the Israeli army has also refused to disclose names of the dead and the locations from which their bodies were taken from Gaza.

These dead bodies were laid to rest on Tuesday in a mass grave in Rafah.

As the war between Israel and Hamas crossed two months and three weeks, according to the latest data provided by the Gaza government media office, 21,110 people have been killed since the start of the war on October 7 including 8,800 children and 6,300 women.
