Gaza, MINA – Civil Defense rescuers remove the remains of 20 Palestinians found in an empty lot in the northern Gaza Strip who were killed by the Israeli army during the genocidal war.
Anadolu Agency correspondent witnessed, on Sunday, the operation to recover the bodies from a pile of sand in an empty lot near a destroyed shelter school in Sheikh Zayed city in northern Gaza.
Some of the bodies were found in a state of decomposition and dismemberment, while others were left with only bones, which were collected by Civil Defense teams in small bags.
A rescue worker involved in the rescue operation told Anadolu Agency that the bodies were found while leveling an empty plot of land near a shelter set up to receive refugees returning from the southern Gaza Strip.

According to figures from the Health Ministry in Gaza, rescue teams have removed 488 bodies since the ceasefire came into effect on January 19. []
