The Libyan Red Crescent Society team recovered 14 decomposed bodies in the neighborhood (720) of Giza Al-Bahariya in the city of Sirte during operations to remove destroyed buildings.
After receiving a report from the local authorities in the city of Sirte about the presence of bodies in the Giza Bahariya area, teams from the Libyan Red Crescent Sirte Branch headed to the site after completing all legal procedures.
The teams scanned the entire area in search of any possible bodies in the neighborhood, which was completely destroyed during the 2016 war, and 14 decomposed bodies were found.
The team numbered the bodies and placed them in their own bags, then transported them to Ibn Sina Hospital in Sirte to complete the related procedures and take DNA samples for each body to determine the victims’ identities.
The efforts of the Libyan Red Crescent, in cooperation with local authorities, continue to ensure the completion of legal and humanitarian procedures related to these bodies, in light of attempts to restore stability and reconstruction in the city of Sirte, which has suffered from destruction over the past years.
