Many MH17victims not yet buried (translated from Dutch)


Relatives of 29 identified victims of the plane crash with the MH17 have the remains of their loved ones still not returned.

Yahoo! News reports that, based on its own research that of the 298 victims of the plane crash in Ukraine have been 295 identified. That alone does not mean that every body that was found is returned to the family. In the morgue of the General Oudheusden Barracks in Hilversum are still remains of 29 victims. The remains are identified in the barracks.

Of the 29 victims, very few remains are present, sometimes only a few skeletal remains. The relatives are hoping and waiting for more. "People want to do as much of the body back," said the leader of the identification team Arie de Bruijn. According to him, the relatives are finding this difficult. Especially since nearly everyone on board the plane has been identified as portrayed in the press.

There are also dozens of survivors who have loved ones buried or cremated because later remains were found. "Some now choose a reburial. Others wait until the end of the process," says De Bruijn against RTL News.

Currently, 90 percent of the remains found have been investigated. Fifteen people are still at work in the barracks.
