The hospital was the scene of an Israeli military operation that lasted more than a week in April.
Spokesmen for the two institutions said today that the bodies were found in the apartments surrounding the hospital, which were completely destroyed and out of service.
The Hamas-controlled Gaza government claims to have found more than 520 bodies in seven mass graves on the grounds of hospitals invaded by Israeli forces in recent weeks, such as Al-Shifa and Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis and Kamal Adwan in Beit Lahia.
The Israeli army raided these hospitals en masse on several occasions, especially in April, claiming that they were being used by the Islamist Hamas movement as a hideout and regrouping base.
The Civil Defense said: “The virtual examination of the bodies exhumed from mass graves showed that the majority of them belonged to patients deprived of health care.”
The source said that there were mutilated bodies as a result of being run over by military vehicles, in addition to mutilated heads in mass graves in the courtyards of the Shifa Complex.
Since October 7, 34,971 Gazans have been killed in the Israeli attack and 78,641 others have been injured, with 10,000 bodies still missing under the rubble, according to a tally by the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli army continues its attack in Rafah, where today it ordered the evacuation of more neighborhoods in the east and in the city center, and resumes its military activity in Jabalia in the north, where it also ordered the evacuation of civilians. Residents face Hamas reorganization.
