The Ministry of Health in Gaza shared footage on its Telegram account of unidentified bodies waiting to be buried in a mass grave in the courtyard of Al-Shifa Hospital.

The official speaking in the footage stated that the first mass burial at Al-Shifa Hospital included 63 bodies, and that they are now making preparations for a second mass burial.

The Palestinian official said, "The burial in the mass grave will be carried out under the supervision of the public prosecutor, in coordination with the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Awqaf, and the Ministry of Justice. Identifications will be made at a later time. For now, the number we have is more than 35, and the number may increase."

'4 BODIES IN ONE SHROUD'

Pointing to a somewhat larger body bag among the remains, the official said, "For example, in this bag in front of me, there are the bodies of exactly 4 people. This is not just one person you see; there are the dismembered bodies of 4 people in this bag. This bag contains body parts belonging to bodies numbered 30, 31, 32, and 33. They are being buried with this registration."

Salameh Marouf, Head of the Government Media Office in Gaza, told an Anadolu Agency (AA) reporter that 43 unidentified bodies were buried in the second mass grave.
