Doctors at Gaza’s Nasser Hospital say the bodies of Palestinians returned by Israel under the US-backed ceasefire show signs of torture and abuse, and a lack of resources is making it difficult to identify them.
Photographs released by Gaza’s medical authorities show some of the bodies badly decomposed, and arriving in civilian clothes or naked except for underwear, some with multiple signs of injury. Many have their wrists tied behind their backs, and doctors say some bodies arrived blindfolded or with cloth roped around their necks.
The forensic team at Nasser Hospital are working with almost no resources to answer vast questions about torture, mistreatment and identity – and a lack of cold storage space.
Israel’s army has repeated that it operates in accordance with international law.
