MH17 crash: Search team closes operation to recover human remains, plane wreckage

The recovery of human remains and wreckage from the Malaysian Airlines MH17 crash site in eastern Ukraine has reportedly been wrapped up as a final flight carrying seven coffins landed in the Netherlands.

Pieter-Jaap Aalbersberg, head of the Dutch-led rescue operation, said that they had done "everything humanly possible" to recover human remains and plane debris from the site, reported the BBC.

He said that many more body parts had been discovered and the team hoped that it would help them in identifying the final two victims.

DNA tests will be performed on the remains in the Netherlands.

Investigators have however, not ruled out finding more remains or wreckage from the site.

Personal belongings such as watches, rings, and passports have also been found.

The Boeing 777 plane was shot down by a surface-to-air missile over conflict-torn eastern Ukraine in July last year, killing all 298 people on board.
