UN rights key Volker Turk expressed his disgust at the reports of mass graves containing hundreds of bodies in Gaza on Tuesday, calling them “horrified” by the devastation of the Nasser and Al Shifa health facilities there.
This week after the doctor was abandoned by Israeli army, Palestinian authorities reported finding systems in mass tombs at it in Khan Younis. Following an Jewish special forces activity, bombs were also reported at the Al Shifa page.
The director for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ravina Shamdasani, said,” We feel the need to raise the alarm because it is obvious that there have been numerous body discovered.”
Some of them had their hands tied, which, of course, indicates major breaches of international humanitarian and human rights laws, and these cases need to be investigated further. “
According to her, the UN human rights business is assisting Israeli officials in verifying reports that 30 bodies were discovered at Al Shifa and 283 bodies at Nasser.
According to those accounts, the bodies were buried beneath piles of trash, including those of women and older individuals.
Turk, addressing a UN presentation via Shamdasani, even decried Jewish attacks on Gaza in recent days, which he said had killed generally women and children.
He also reiterated his caution against carrying out a full-scale invasion of Rafah, stating that this might lead to “further crime crimes”.
