Rescue teams in Khan Younis have discovered mass graves in the vicinity of a hospital following the Israeli army's brutal invasion.
The bodies of 392 individuals including children, of which only 65 have been identified, were unearthed around Nasser Hospital in in the southern Gaza Strip, with efforts still ongoing to uncover more.
The revelation of mass graves has exposed the horrors faced by Palestinians, who were seeking refuge or undergoing medical treatment at the hospital during the Israeli army's incursion.
Paramedics have uncovered shocking evidence of torture on the victims, with some bodies bearing signs of surgical incisions, indicating organ theft, a claim endorsed by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor.
At least 20 victims were buried alive, while some were shot at point-blank range in the back of their hands.
Akram al Satarri, a Gaza-based journalist, told US news outlet Democracy Now, "Some people were tied up. Some had medical equipment on their hands, like cannulas. When they were exhumed, it was evident they had been buried alive."
"We require forensic examination for approximately 20 bodies of individuals we suspect were buried alive," stated civil defence member Mughier.
Yamen Abu Sulaiman, head of the civil defence department in southern Khan Younis, reported the discovery of three separate mass graves on the premises – one behind the morgue, one in front, and one near the dialysis building.
The Israeli army admitted to exhuming bodies from graves "in search of captives." The United Nations has called for transparent investigations into the discovery of these mass graves.
On Thursday, a spokesperson from the US State Department insisted that Israel must conduct an inquiry into the mass graves.
Despite clear signs of genocide, US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin asserted during a Senate hearing in April that there was no evidence of such atrocities occurring in Gaza.
Amid increasing global demands to limit US support for the Israeli military, which has brutally killed over 34,000 Palestinians in Gaza, President Joe Biden approved a foreign funding bill totaling $94 billion, allocating an extra $17 billion in aid to Israel.
