Palestinians gathered at the Nasser Medical Complex Saturday, waiting to see if the bodies of their loved ones were among the 135 that Israel returned to Gaza this week.

Doctors and family members of missing people say they are struggling to identify them.

A big screen showing pictures of some of the bodies was put in the center of the room where people gather and watch the photos before speaking with the workers helping with the identification process.

Gaza’s Ministry of Health also posted the images of the bodies on their website.

One woman knelt down, crying over a dead body after identifying her husband.

Health authorities in the blockaded territory do not have access to DNA testing or other sophisticated technology that Israel has used to identify the remains of hostages taken in Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack that ignited the war.

Head of the forensic department at the Nasser Medical Complex, Ahmed Dhair, said that there are cases that have their hands cuffed, with bruises and gunshots in the chest and the head.

The Israeli military says it acts in accordance with local and international law and "completely rejects allegations regarding the systematic abuse of detainees."

Over a week into a ceasefire that paused the fighting between Israel and Hamas, both sides are expected to release bodies of hostages as well as Palestinians held in Israel.

The International Committee of the Red Cross, has been facilitating the releases.
