An investigation in war-torn Gaza found hundreds of bodies “buried deep in the ground and covered with waste” over the weekend at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, central Gaza, and at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City in the north. A total of 283 bodies were recovered at Nasser Hospital, of which 42 were identified.

“Among the deceased were allegedly older people, women and wounded, while others were found tied with their hands…tied and stripped of their clothes,” said Ravina Shamdasani, spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

"There are reports that the hands of some of these bodies were also tied,” Ms. Shamdasani said, adding that there could be “many more” victims, “despite the claim by the Israeli Defense Forces to have killed 200 Palestinians during the Al-Shifa medical complex operation”.

Reminder that nothing will change without public pressure.

If you're in the US, you can easily find and write your elected reps here: https://www.270towin.com/elected-officials/

You can also find local groups like the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (in the UK) https://palestinecampaign.org/get-involved/ or the DSA (US) https://www.dsausa.org/chapters/ organizing protests you can participate in as our voices are louder in numbers.

And you can also donate directly to UNHRA since some western countries have defunded it.
