Bodies of missing aid workers found in Gaza 'mass grave' following Israeli attacks

The bodies of more than a dozen aid workers have been recovered in southern Gaza from what a United Nations agency described as a “mass grave,” a week after they went missing following attacks by Israeli forces.

Eight of the 14 bodies recovered Sunday from the site in the southern Rafah area were identified as members of the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS), five as civil defense, and one as a UN agency employee, PRCS said in a statement. One PRCS medic remains missing.

The body of a fifteenth person, a civil defense worker, was recovered last Thursday from the site, after PRCS said they were initially denied access to the area. CNN has reached out to the Israeli military.

Last week, PRCS said nine of its emergency medical technicians had been missing since March 23 following an incident in which Israeli forces fired on ambulances and fire trucks in southern Rafah.

Since the so-called cease fire.

Heard on BBC this morning that the war criminals are forcing thousands more to move from5(384 homes.
This Western civilization is really uncivilized.

4. Israel has lost the moral high ground.

After the Oct. 7th attack most of the world supported Israel’s right to retaliate. Israel had the moral upper hand. But as the war has progressed the wholesale, indiscriminate killing of Palestinians, not just Hamas fighters, the destruction of most homes of ordinary Gazans, and hundreds of thousands have been wandering in the desert trying to stay alive, most on the verge of starving, many dying from diseases, rampant in the absence of sanitation, running water and medical services. This is a complete moral loss by Israel.

Also most of it's allies have been critical of it's actions except for the US.

Their actions are inexcusable and immoral.

tell us that they were all Hamas and remind us that the Israeli army may have killed them, but it was the only thing they could do.
