Quick Glance: UN Calls for Investigation into Mass Graves at Two Gaza Hospitals

The United Nations called for a thorough and transparent investigation into the mass graves at two major hospitals in Gaza that were searched by Israeli troops.

It was emphasized that investigators must have access to the sites, and a greater number of journalists should be able to work safely in Gaza to report on the facts.

Some of the bodies belonged to individuals killed during the hospital siege, while others were victims when Israeli forces raided the hospital.

The discovery of the graves highlights the urgency of a ceasefire, the end of the conflict, improved access for humanitarian aid, the protection of hospitals, and the release of Israeli hostages.
