Palestinian Civil Defence removes 15 bodies from al-Shifa Hospital

The Palestinian Civil Defence has recovered the bodies of at least 15 Palestinians from al-Shifa Hospital courtyard in Gaza City.

The discovery comes as part of work to retrieve Palestinians killed by Israel and buried in what Gaza’s Government Media Office said was a "mass grave" discovered in May 2024. 

The total number of bodies recovered from Gaza’s largest medical facility is now 113, underscoring the scope of Israeli killing in the area. 

“Several bodies remain missing on the hospital grounds, as work is still ongoing to retrieve them,” the Palestinian Civil Defence said. 

It added that four of the bodies had not been identified.
