Israel has bodies of 676 Palestinians, advocacy group says

Israel is retaining the corpses of 676 Palestinians in freezers and burial sites known as “cemeteries of numbers”, says the National Campaign to retrieve Martyrs’ Bodies, a Palestinian advocacy group.

Some of the bodies belong to around 60 children and nine women.

The organisation says the number of bodies has increased this week following the Israeli killing of three Palestinians in Jenin in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday.
