Search for Closure

The search for the remains of their loved ones is unending for the victims’ families, who are desperate not being able to find the corpses of those who lost their lives in the war.

An additional layer of suffering is added to an already terrible circumstance by the emotional cost of not being able to provide their loved members with a proper funeral.

International Response

As the world observes the unfolding events in Gaza, there is an increasing chorus of voices seeking justice for the victims and accountability for those guilty.

In response to inquiries about the discovery of mass graves in Gaza, United States Department Spokesman Matthew Miller stated, “We are inquiring about it with the Government of Israel.”

OIC response

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has issued a strong condemnation of the “horrific massacres” carried out by Israel in the wake of the discovery of mass graves at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.

The OIC’s denouncement underscores the gravity of the situation and the urgent need for accountability and justice in the face of such atrocities.
