MH17 crash: Five bodies repatriated to Netherlands

The bodies of five more victims of July's MH17 crash in eastern Ukraine have been flown to the Netherlands.

Speaking after the repatriation ceremony, Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders said that nine of the 298 victims were still unaccounted for.

The Boeing 777 Malaysian Airlines was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when it crashed in territory held by pro-Russian rebels.

The BBC's David Stern says there is still a lot of anger over the issue and that it could be raised at next week's G20 meeting.
