One hundred and thirty two dead bodies, including 109 babies, deposited at the 37 Military Hospital mortuary since November 2000 have neither been identified nor claimed.
This has created a serious congestion in the mortuary, resulting in frequent breakdowns of the fridges.
A release issued from the Armed Forces Public Relations Directorate, signed by Lt.-Col E. W. K. Nibo, Director of Public Relations, gave the bereaved families one month to identify and claim the bodies otherwise they would be given a mass burial.
It stated: “If these bodies are not identified and claimed within one month from the date of the announcement, the hospital under these circumstances, will have no other choice than to give them a mass burial.”
The Hospital authorities appealed for the maximum co-operation from the general public.
