1 Mins Read

In the courtyard of the Shifa Hospital in Gaza, where Israel has repeatedly attacked, 61 bodies of Palestinians were unearthed from their burial place. The Palestinian Civil Defense Teams in the Gaza Strip managed to excavate the bodies of 61 Palestinians buried in the courtyard of the Shifa Medical Complex in the last two days. The Ministry of Health in Gaza stated in a written announcement that efforts were being made to restore healthcare services. Due to the conditions of war, the bodies previously buried in the hospital courtyard will be officially buried in the cemetery on Thursday, March 13. The announcement mentioned that out of the 160 individuals buried in the hospital courtyard, 61 bodies were retrieved, and some will be taken to the forensic center for identification. The Shifa Medical Complex provided medical treatment to 460,000 Palestinian citizens and urgent healthcare services to 250,000 citizens in 2020. Additionally, 25,000 surgeries and 13,000 deliveries were performed at the same hospital. Muneer El-Bursh, the Director-General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, had previously stated that due to the constant attacks by the Israeli army for months, 95% of the buildings and medical equipment in the health complex were rendered unusable.
