GAZA April 22. 2024 (Saba) - The government media office in Gaza announced on Monday that the fate of about 2,000 Palestinians who were in Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis when it was stormed by the Zionist enemy forces last February "is still unknown."

According to Sama News Agency, the head of the office, Salameh Maarouf, said in a statement that "the work of government teams continues for the fourth day to recover the martyrs from the mass grave at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis (southern Gaza Strip)."

Maarouf added: "Today, the bodies of 73 martyrs were recovered, bringing the total number of bodies recovered since last Friday to 283 martyrs."

He continued: "The bodies of 42 martyrs were identified and identified, while the rest were not identified, knowing that the enemy army deliberately hid them, buried them deep in sand and dumped waste on them."

"Some of the bodies of women and the elderly were found as well as wounded, while some were handcuffed and stripped naked, indicating that they were executed in cold blood," he said.

"The fate of about 2,000 citizens who were present at the compound when it was stormed by the occupation army is still unknown and it is not known if they were arrested or killed and their bodies hidden," he said.

Maarouf called on the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to "investigate this massacre committed by the Zionist enemy army at the Nasser Complex and also the Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City."

Earlier in the day, the Civil Defense in Gaza announced that the number of bodies discovered had risen to 283, in a mass grave at the Nasser Medical Complex, which was discovered last Friday evening.
