The remains are estimated to belong to nine individuals, some of the remains are mixed, as part of ongoing national and humanitarian efforts to uncover the fate of missing persons and preserve the rights of victims and their families.
In a statement, the Commission said that the necessary measures were taken to secure the site, in coordination with the relevant authorities and the Syrian Civil Defense teams, ensuring the protection of the remains and preventing any tampering.
