Israel has handed over 45 more Palestinian bodies to Gaza authorities, increasing the total to 90 returned so far. The Gaza Health Ministry confirmed the transfer was done through the International Committee of the Red Cross. Medical teams are now preparing to examine the bodies and complete legal formalities. This process follows strict health and safety protocols.
Meanwhile, reports reveal that some bodies returned had their eyes bandaged and hands tied. This suggests many Palestinians may have been killed under harsh conditions. Despite a peace agreement, Israel continues to limit aid into Gaza. Only 12 aid trucks entered Gaza today, far below the daily goal of 600 trucks.
