Health ministry: 80 bodies of Palestinians recovered from Al-Shifa mass graves

The bodies of 80 Palestinians have been unearthed from three mass graves at Gaza's al-Shifa hospital, with dozens more discovered in the medical facility itself,  the health ministry has reported.

According to the ministry, this brings the total number of bodies recovered from mass graves throughout Gaza since October to 520.

The ministry added that some bodies were discovered with bullet wounds in their heads and chests, indicating that they had been executed at point-blank range.

A new mass grave at the hospital was uncovered earlier this week, the seventh to be discovered in Gaza since 7 October.
