A Civil Defense official in Gaza Strip said,” Some bodies were found with tied hands, opened abdomens and stitched in a manner inconsistent with the usual methods of wound suturing in Gaza, raising suspicions of the disappearance of some organs.”
Gaza Civil Defense workers have retrieved more than 390 Palestinian bodies buried in mass graves in Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.
“The bodies of a man and a mutilated young girl missing limbs were also found wearing hospital gowns, raising suspicions of their being buried alive,” Al-Mughayer added.
In addition, the hands of some bodies were found with plastic restraints “and corpses were wearing white robes used by the Israeli army as clothes for detainees in Nasser Hospital, with marks of gunshot wounds to the head, raising suspicions of their execution and field liquidation.”
”We also found many bodies wrapped in black and blue shrouds made of plastic and nylon, which are different than the color of shrouds used in Gaza,” Al-Mughayer added.
He said this caused “suspicions that the occupation’s goal was to raise the temperature of the bodies to accelerate their decomposition and conceal evidence.”
The civil defence official said evidence “indicates that the occupation committed crimes against humanity and carried out field executions on the premises of Nasser Hospital.”
”We demand the swift opening of an international investigation into this matter,” he stressed.
The Israeli pulled out of Khan Yunis on April 7 after a four-month-long ground operation in the Nasser Medical Complex.
