At least 56 bodies have been discovered in unmarked mass graves in northern Mexico, not far from the border with the United States, local prosecutors said Saturday in a statement.
The remains included some bodies, some complete skeletons and other partial remains, as well as clothing and bullet casings. They were exhumed earlier this week in Chihuahua state — which lies along a drug and migrant trafficking route to the U.S. — in a military-aided operation that lasted several days, the statement further said.
Amid this, on social media, an image of multiple dead bodies lying on the ground has gone viral. While sharing the image, users wrote, “BREAKING – 56 bodies have been discovered in a mass grave in Mexico, not far from the U.S. border, per CBS sources.
Fact Check
During the investigation, DFRAC found the claim to be false. We did not find any report from CBS News carrying a similar image. In reality, we found a report from ‘Reuters,’ published on November 22, 2023, that carried the similar image with the following caption: “A man arranges the bodies of Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes as they are buried in a mass grave after being transported from Al Shifa hospital in Gaza City for burial, in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, November 22.”
Furthermore, we found a media report from ‘France24,’ published on November 22, 2023, which states, “The bodies of dozens of unidentified people were buried on Wednesday in a mass grave at a cemetery in Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip.”
Conclusion
It is evident from DFRAC’s fact check that the viral image is from Gaza and dates back to November 2023, not from Mexico. Therefore, the image used in the shared claim is misleading.
