The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor called for the formation of an independent international investigation committee into the Israeli army’s detention of the bodies of dozens of Palestinians killed during its war on the Gaza Strip since last October 7, and suspicions of the theft of organs from them....
The Euro-Mediterranean Observatory documented that the army detained dead bodies from the Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza, the Indonesian Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, and others from the vicinity of the displacement corridor to the center and south of the Gaza Strip, which it designated on the main Salah al-Din Road.
Euro-Med reported that the Israeli army also exhumed a mass grave that had been established more than ten days ago in one of the courtyards of the Shifa Medical Complex, and extracted the bodies of the dead from it and detained them.
The Euro-Mediterranean Observatory raised suspicions of the theft of organs from the bodies of dead people, including observations made by doctors in Gaza who conducted a quick examination of some of the bodies after their release and noticed the theft of organs such as the cornea of the eye and the cochlea, and other vital organs such as the liver, kidneys and heart.Doctors working in several hospitals told the Euro-Mediterranean team that the forensic medical examination is not sufficient to prove or deny the theft of organs, especially in light of the presence of previous surgical interventions on several bodies.They stated that it was impossible for them to conduct an accurate analytical examination of the bodies of the dead that were being held by the Israeli army under intense air and artillery attacks and the continuing influx of wounded, but they detected several signs of possible organ theft.
