Israel sent a truck filled with the decomposed bodies of nearly 90 Palestinians to Gaza on Wednesday, which the territory’s health ministry refused to bury, citing Israel’s failure to discloses details about who they are and where they were killed.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health, which has worked tirelessly to treat wounded Palestinians and get humanitarian assistance into the enclave, said in a statement that it was refusing to accept the latest arrivals after the Israeli military sent them without providing “their names, ages, genders, or the areas in which they were killed and kidnapped”.

Iyad Qadeeh, a media official at the Ministry of Health, said that Wednesday’s arrival was the fifth time that authorities had received a truck load of unidentified corpses.

He told Middle East Eye that from now on health officials would refuse to accept any more bodies without identifying information.

    If they were legally in Israel then Israel legally has custody of their bodies so there was no kidnapping. Stop twisting things, your only making yourself look worse.

          So you really do think that you’re property of the state?

            I’m not stupid enough to think that if I were to die and they transported my body to the state I was born in they kidnapped me. Only an idiot would think something that dumb.

            BTW, Custody and property are two entirely different things.

              What kind of dystopian country do you live in that you think it would be normal for the government to deport your dead body?
