Red Cross ‘concerned and unsatisfied’ with Hamas captive release process

The Red Cross is concerned about the operations through which Hamas hands over the Israeli captives, stating that it had not been conducted in a private and dignified manner, Reuters news agency said.

“The ICRC does not participate in sorting, screening, or examining the deceased - this is the responsibility of the parties to the conflict,”it said in a statement on Friday.

It told Reuters that it is "concerned and unsatisfied" by the way Hamas hostage release operations have taken place.

The remarks come after Israel had said that one of the released bodies does not belong to the captives held in Gaza.
