️BREAKING: After being released by Israel, 54 bodies and 66 boxes containing Palestinian human remains arrived at Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza, handed over this evening via the Red Cross.
For the first time, the handover included not only intact bodies but mutilated remains, showing that the targeting did not stop at killing, but extended to the desecration of the human body even after death.
Everyone needs to reed what the director of the Ministry of health, Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, in Gaza shared:
“What law permits returning a human being as scattered remains?
A short while ago, 54 bodies of martyrs arrived at Al-Shifa Medical Complex, accompanied by 66 boxes containing human remains and body parts, released via the Red Cross.
This is not a passing news item, but a shocking moment that tests what remains of this world’s conscience.
What kind of scene is this, where we stand before sealed boxes, searching inside them for the features of our children?
How are we to restore names to bodies when we lack the necessary examination tools, and even the minimum medical and forensic capabilities that would allow us to identify them or document them in a manner befitting human dignity?
We are not dealing with numbers recorded in reports, but with fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, each with a name, a memory, a dream, and a home that still waits.
That they are returned as fragments, and that their bodies are handed over in boxes, is not merely a procedural violation, but a moral and humanitarian crime, and a blatant breach of all international laws and conventions ever established to protect human dignity, in life and in death.
On previous occasions, bodies were recovered bearing signs of mutilation and torture.
Today, the bodies are returned dismembered, as if the aim was not only to end life, but to erase identity, break memory, and humiliate the living before the dead.
We are not demanding the impossible, nor seeking any special privilege.
We demand a basic right:
that a human being be returned as a human being,
that the body be preserved,
that dignity be safeguarded,
and that the laws the world claims to uphold be respected.
For when these principles are trampled, it is not Gaza alone that is humiliated,
but all of humanity.”
