The General Authority for Search and Identification of Missing Persons in Derna announced the exhumation and reburial of 3,779 bodies of the victims of Storm “Daniel” that hit the city in September last year.
The director of the Department of Search for the remains Lotfi al-Misrati said that the bodies that were exhumed from the cemetery “Dhahr al-Hamar” amounted to 1,739, and from the cemetery “Martouba” 1661, and the rest were recovered from the sea and destroyed buildings.
Al-Misrati explained that the commission withdrew DNA samples from the bodies and reburied them in an Islamic and legal manner in the cemetery of “Al-Fataeh”.
Teams in the city continue to work on the files of the missing and match samples taken from the bodies with samples taken from the families of the missing, al-Misrati said.
It is noteworthy that the bodies of the victims of floods and floods after Storm “Daniel” were buried en masse during the first days of the disaster without numbering the graves, and therefore were reburied in an Islamic way after the samples were withdrawn.
