GENEVA, Feb 19 (Reuters) - The Red Cross called for privacy and dignity ahead of the expected release of hostages' bodies from Gaza on Thursday under the terms of a ceasefire.
"We must be clear: any degrading treatment during release operations is unacceptable," the International Committee of the Red Cross said in a statement.
Khalil al-Hayya, leader of Hamas in Gaza, said the bodies of four hostages, including those of the Bibas family, would be returned on Thursday.
