On the sixth consecutive day of digging up bodies in southern Gaza, Palestinian Civil Defence officials on Thursday revealed horrifying new details about the mass graves around the Nasser and Al-Shifa hospitals.

Civil defence member Mohammed Mughier said 10 of the bodies were found with their hands tied, while others still had medical tubes attached to them, indicating they may have been buried alive.

Mughier also noted that only 65 bodies had been identified by relatives due to decomposition, mutilation, torture, or other difficulties.

Over 400 bodies have now been recovered from mass graves in and around a major hospital in Gaza's Khan Younis, relief workers have said.

Three mass graves containing hundreds of bodies, mostly of women and children, were discovered at Nasser Hospital, aid groups told Sky News Arabia.

The United Nations human rights chief, Volker Turk, called for an "independent, effective and transparent investigations" into the deaths.
