UN urges access to Gaza after hundreds of bodies found under rubble
–
Neutral summary
The UN human rights chief, Volker Türk, said on Tuesday that the recovery of hundreds of bodies from the rubble of buildings destroyed by Israeli strikes in Gaza during the war that began nearly three years ago has raised fresh concerns about possible war crimes. Türk said the remains of what appeared to be entire families, many of them women and children, were being unearthed, and called the discoveries the tip of the iceberg. He urged international investigators to be allowed into Gaza to collect evidence and identify victims, noting that Israel has refused to allow heavy equipment needed to clear the rubble. He added that the findings revived concerns raised in a 2024 UN report that found Israeli strikes on residential buildings in the early weeks of the war may have violated international humanitarian law.
