Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kanaani has called for an immediate international investigation into the Israeli occupation's "horrifying and shocking" war crimes in Gaza's Al-Shifa Hospital.

Earlier today, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported that Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have completely withdrawn from the vicinity of the Al-Shifa Medical Complex toward the southwest of Gaza City.

He pointed out that scores of martyrs' bodies were found in the vicinity of the hospital after the withdrawal of the occupation forces.

"Dozens of bodies, some of them decomposed, have been recovered from in and around the Al-Shifa medical complex," the Health Ministry in Gaza said in a statement.

On Monday, the top Iranian official wrote on X that the amount of devastation, torture, and killing, as well as the number of Palestinian captives at the Al-Shifa hospital, are appalling and alarming.

The Spokesperson expressed that “an international investigation is an urgent necessity."

Italian doctor details horrific Israeli crimes in Gaza's al-Shifa

Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City witnessed a collection of the Israeli occupation's most brutal war crimes, a letter released by Dr. Paola Manduca, of the New Weapons Research Group organization, on behalf of the Italian Healthcare network for Gaza, detailed.

Dr. Mancuda received a message from the Deputy Minister of Health in Gaza, Dr. Yousif Abu al-Reech, detailing the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation in Al-Shifa Hospital from the moment of the invasion until March 31, 2024, as per the letter. 

The Deputy Minister explained that the Israeli occupation had imposed a 14-day siege on the medical complex, incarcerating 107 patients, most of whom are in critical condition, and 60 medical staff members in an old two-story Health Resources building. As reported by the staff, the building is not equipped with ventilation and medical equipment, nor does it have the necessary sanitary conditions, water, and food. 

This has led to white flies hatching out of septic wounds of some patients, Dr. al-Reech added. Moreover, medical staff ran out of gloves and were forced to use plastic bags when treating patients, which eventually also ran out. 

"In addition, they reported the lack of elderly diapers, especially that 30 patients are bed-ridden and use diapers and are in intensive need of medical care and nursing that the limited number of staff is incapable of providing," the letter read.

In a harrowing revelation, Mahmoud Basal, the spokesperson for the Civil Defense in Gaza, disclosed that around 300 decomposing bodies with signs of torture were scattered in the vicinity of Al-Shifa Medical Complex and its surrounding areas following the withdrawal of occupation forces after a two-week siege.

Basal confirmed that Israeli occupation forces (IOF) had executed civilians, whose bodies were found handcuffed at Al-Shifa hospital. Furthermore, he detailed that the IOF had set fire to wards within the hospital, leaving behind a mass trail of devastation as they destroyed all medical equipment and supplies.
