"Israel has returned dozens of Palestinian bodies and human remains to Gaza without providing any information about their identities or how they were killed, according to Palestinian medical officials. The remains arrived at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City on Wednesday in plain white bags and are now being examined by forensic teams in an effort to identify them and provide answers to grieving families."
"For many Palestinians, the search for missing relatives has shifted from streets and rubble to computer screens and improvised identification centres. At al-Shifa, Shadi al-Fayoumi scrolled through blurred and graphic images, hoping to spot anything recognisable that might tell him what happened to his brothers. My brothers have been missing for 10 months. They disappeared in the Tuffah neighbourhood, al-Fayoumi, whose brothers remain missing, told Al Jazeera. I went to al-Shifa Medical Complex, where we were told there were bodies"
"The International Committee of the Red Cross handed over 120 body bags containing 54 bodies as well as skull samples placed in 66 separate bags, forensic official Omar Suleiman told Al Jazeera. Previous exchanges of Palestinian prisoners' bodies have revealed extensive signs of abuse, with many showing indications of torture, mutilation and execution."
