UN Rights Chief Demands International Probe of Mass Graves Near Gaza Hospitals

Source: Common Dreams

“The United Nations'[s] human rights chief on Tuesday called for an international investigation into mass graves discovered at two Gaza hospitals that Israeli forces recently assailed and destroyed, further imperiling the enclave’s barely functioning healthcare system. Volker Türk, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, said in a statement that he was ‘horrified’ by the discovery of mass graves at the Nasser and al-Shifa medical complexes, which the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reduced to ruins. More than 300 bodies were reportedly discovered in the mass grave near the Nasser facility in Khan Younis, Gaza, and eyewitnesses said Israeli soldiers executed civilians during their two-week-long raid of al-Shifa last month.” (04/23/24)
