In a heart-wrenching discovery, a mass grave containing nearly 300 bodies was found at a hospital in Khan Younis, a southern city in Gaza. The hospital was under Israeli occupation until earlier this month, according to Gaza Civil Defense workers.
A spokesperson from the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights expressed deep concern over the incident on April 23, urging an immediate and thorough investigation to uncover the truth behind this tragic event.
Sameh Hamad, a local criminal evidence administrator, shared that on the same day, the hospital staff began the painstaking process of photographing the deceased. These images aim to assist relatives, friends, and personnel in identifying their loved ones through recognizable clothing and personal items.
The discovery has sent shockwaves through the international community, highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region and the urgent need for accountability and peace.
