After the smells and insects crept into the houses surrounding a number of mortuaries in The Sudanese capital, KhartoumAs a result of the accumulation of thousands of corpses for years without accountability or supervision, this issue has turned into a real crisis in the country.
This prompted the Supreme Committee for Dealing with Accumulated Bodies in Khartoum State a few days ago to set the 25th of September as the date for the start of the autopsy, especially in Bashayer Hospital.
It is a terrifying scene in the Bashaer mortuary. I thought that thousands of bodies were covered and rotting, but they were not.. Bodies sitting on chairs, and others piled on top of each other, complete bodies. There are also dismembered and missing bodies, bodies are naked and some are hidden, faces are mostly without features, but the souls are suspended as if they She says: “When will you bury me and honor my resting place? pic.twitter.com/tEPVhi8ISy

However, the unbearable terrible scenes captured by Al-Arabiya’s camera from the “Bashaer” morgue showed the horror of that case.
Thousands of bodies appeared to be stacked on top of each other, and some of them were even “sitting on chairs”, according to what the Al-Arabiya correspondent reported.
In that mortuary, “whole, severed or incomplete bodies were also thrown, as well as naked bodies.”
More than a thousand bodies
As for the faces of the corpses, most of them are without features, as if they are saying: “When will you bury me and honor my resting place?”
It is noteworthy that the Bashair mortuary in Khartoum contains more than a thousand unidentified bodies, which sparked an ethical, health and environmental crisis in the country.
The autopsy committees of the unidentified bodies stacked in 3 main mortuaries are supposed to start their work on the twenty-fifth of this September, which includes the Forensic Medicine Authority, the Public Prosecution Office, the police, and observers from the international and local community, as well as the families of the missing in the country.
