Of the 10 new identifications seven people were of Dutch nationality. At the request of the embassies of the countries concerned, the specific nationality of the non-Dutch victims was not revealed.
On Thursday, the Dutch government wrote in a letter to the parliament that it is still too unsafe to return to the crash site.
