Gaza City, Palestine: Gaza’s authorities faced a heartbreaking situation on Wednesday when they returned a container carrying the bodies of 88 Palestinians to Israel due to a lack of data about their identities. Ismail al-Thawabteh, who heads Gaza’s government media office, expressed his frustration at the disrespectful manner in which the bodies were delivered without any coordination.
Thawabteh denounced the Israeli practice as a heinous violation of international law and humanitarian principles, calling for international organizations to intervene. The ongoing brutal offensive by Israel in Gaza has resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries, as well as displacement of the population and severe shortages of essential resources.
Israel now faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza, adding to the urgency of the situation. It is crucial for countries around the world to pressure Israel to end its atrocities and respect the dignity of the Palestinian people.
