Watan-The Ministry of Health in Gaza has revealed horrific details and statistics about mass graves in the territory as a result of the ongoing Israeli war for about 200 days.
Dr. Ashraf al-Qudra, the spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, said that the mass graves discovered in the courtyards of hospitals in the territory are compelling evidence of the occupation committing genocide against the Palestinian people.
During a televised interview with Al Jazeera, he added that there are about 11,000 missing persons buried under the rubble in Gaza as a result of the continuous Israeli bombardment of civilian neighborhoods and health institutions.
He explained that the same crimes committed by the occupation army in Shifa Complex were repeated in hospitals like Sheikh Nasser, Kamal Adwan, and Al-Quds Al-Azm, as well as the rest of the hospitals in the territory.

Al-Qudra pointed out that the average number of martyrs due to Israeli gunfire in Gaza reaches 172 daily, including 70 children.
He noted that the occupation army destroyed 92% of the medical facilities and institutions in Gaza, and what remains of these institutions cannot adequately provide treatment for the wounded and injured.
He further emphasized that the occupation army persisted in the policy of besieging Gaza hospitals, raiding and destroying them, and carried out field executions in the courtyards of these hospitals against displaced persons and medical staff.

Recovery of Martyrs’ Bodies
In a related context, units of the civil defense in Gaza revealed more of the occupation’s atrocities after announcing the recovery of 210 bodies of martyrs killed by Israeli gunfire, buried in a mass grave at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis.
The civil defense forces affirmed the continuation of search and recovery operations for the remaining martyrs as a large number of them are still inside the complex.
Vaporized Bodies
Meanwhile, the director of the Gaza Government Media Office, Ismail Al-Thawabteh, estimated the presence of 700 martyrs whose bodies were killed by the occupation inside the complex and buried in mass graves.
He called for an international investigation to determine the reasons for the vaporization and decomposition of some martyrs’ bodies, pointing out the discovery of bodies without heads, bodies without skin, and some of them having their organs stolen.
