New MH17 Human Remains Recovered

SLOW PROGRESS

Workers granted rare access to crash site.

New human remains have been recovered from the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 crash site in Ukraine, according to Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte. In his weekly address, Rutte said an unspecific number of human remains had been retrieved when pro-Russian separatists granted a team of Dutch, Ukrainian and OSCE rescue workers access. The remains will be flown back to the Netherlands for identification. Of the 298 passengers on the July 17 flight, 284 have been identified.
