Dutch investigators collect remains at MH17 crash site
荷蘭調查人員在MH17墜毀地點搜集殘骸
Dutch investigators are back in eastern Ukraine, where nine victims of the MH17 disaster remain missing. The Malaysia Airlines plane was brought down in July, killing all 298 passengers and crew -- two-thirds of whom were Dutch nationals. Signs on the crash site grounds read "Entry prohibited. Remains of victims of MH17 crash might be present here." Fighting between pro-Russian rebels and Ukrainian forces in the area has prevented the investigators from carrying out a full recovery. And winter is coming, threatening to further complicate efforts. The aircraft is widely believed to have been hit by a surface-to-air missile fired from rebel-held territory. Kiev has blamed the rebels and accuses Moscow of arming them. Both rebels and Moscow deny the accusations. Regardless of who's to blame, Dutch relatives of the victims are growing increasingly frustrated, saying their government has been too cautious about going to the crash site to repatriate the bodies and investigate the crash.
