Jenin mayor says Israeli massacres at camp defies linguistic description

Jenin mayor Walid Abu Muweis, who has been allowed to enter the devastated Jenin refugee camp in the company of a few Red cross and Crescent officials, described what he saw at the camp as "indescribable" and "transcending reality."



"What I saw with my own eyes can't be described with words, I just can't understand how human beings are capable of committing nefarious crimes as such," said abu Muweis during an interview with the Voice of Palestine, Monday.

He pointed out that decomposed bodies of children and old people were scattered everywhere, with the stench of the dead wafting all over the place.

"I saw children bodies protruded from the rubble, I saw decomposing bodies of people in their 60s and 70s lying in the streets, this is only in the small area of the camp we were permitted to enter."

Abu Muweis said what happened at the refugee camp last week was much worse than what happened at Deir Yasin 54 years ago.

"This colossal crime will remain a stigma of shame on the civilized world which remained silent as hundreds of defenseless men, women and children were being mercilessly slaughtered by the most barbaric army in the world."

The mayor said the task of recovering the bodies would be very laborious and need large teams of professionals with heavy machinery.

"We are talking about hundreds of victims buried under the rubble, we are talking about a town two thirds of which is reduced to rubble."
