Hodeida (Debriefer) - The Houthi group has buried the fifth batch of (65) unidentified bodies in the Yemeni western governorate of Hodeida.
In total, the Iranian-backed group entombed 297 out of 715 unidentified dead bodies kept in Hodeida hospitals' morgues.
The burial of 65 bodies took place in coordination with the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC), and in cooperation with relevant authorities, the Sana'a-based Saba said.
Burial is the only way to maintain the identity data of the dead and the hereditary information, after death causes are documented by forensic medicine, the news agency added.
The dead bodies were given numbers and distinguishing signs that would help relatives (once appear) to recognize them, Saba quoted Ala'a al-Dhobaie, director of legal medicine in the Public Prosecutor office, as saying.
While the Houthis attribute these large numbers of unidentified bodies to war and Arab coalition airstrikes, the Yemeni official government says the group tries to get rid of any evidences that could disclose its crimes against abductees and other civilians in areas under its control.
The ICRC says it only offers different forms of assistance in forensic medicine as part of its humanitarian mission, including its support for the establishment of two national committees to improve legal medical capacities in Sana'a and Aden.
