 Gaza Strip, (IINA) - Palestine's Envoy to the UN Riyad Mansour said on Tuesday that Israel has been harvesting organs of dead Palestinians after they killed them, Days of Palestine news reported.
“After returning the seized bodies of Palestinians killed by the occupying forces through October, and following medical examinations, it has been reported that the bodies were returned with missing corneas and other organs”, Mansour said.
Mansour added: “This confirms previous reports about Israeli occupation harvesting organs of Palestinian martyrs killed during clashes or in protests”.
According to days of Palestine, this is not the first time it was revealed that the Israeli occupation harvests human organs. Credible international sources and investigators have repeatedly proved that.
Nancy Scheper-Hughes, Professor of Medical Anthropology at the University of California Berkeley, said that Israel is at the “top of a list of countries involved in human organs trafficking. It has tentacles reaching out worldwide”.
Scheper-Hughes, the founder of Organ Watch, said: “Israeli organ traffickers have a pyramid system at work that’s awesome… they have brokers everywhere, bank accounts everywhere; they’ve got recruiters, they’ve got translators, they’ve got travel agents who set up the visas”.
She added: “Israeli traffickers have utilized people from diverse locations—the West Bank and Gaza, the Philippines and Eastern Europe”.
In a subcommittee testimony, Scheper-Hughes stated: “Human rights groups in the West Bank complained to me of tissue and organs stealing of slain Palestinians by Israeli pathologists at the national Israeli legal medical institute in Tel Aviv”.
A 1990 article in the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs reported “widespread anxiety over organ thefts which has gripped Gaza and the West Bank since the intifada began in December of 1987”. A forensic physician was quoted saying: “There are indications that…organs, especially eyes and kidneys, were removed from the bodies during the first year or year and a half”.
