Almost 400 bodies have been found in mass grave in Gaza hospital, says Palestinian Civil Defense

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.

282 million people faced acute hunger in 2023, with the worst famine in Gaza: UN report

financialexpress.com/world-news/282-million-people-faced-acute-hunger-in-2023-with-the-worst-famine-in-gaza-un-report/3468067/

Quick Glance: Over 280 Million People Worldwide Affected by Severe Hunger

Nearly 282 million individuals across various countries faced acute hunger in 2023, with the war-torn Gaza Strip having the highest number of people experiencing famine.

The United Nations report revealed that 24 million more people were dealing with acute food shortages compared to 2022, primarily due to a significant decline in food security, especially in Gaza and Sudan.

Of those on the brink of famine - 577,000 individuals - over 80% were located in Gaza, while numerous others in nations like South Sudan, Burkina Faso, Somalia, and Mali were also enduring extreme hunger.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres labeled the report as 'a reckoning of human failure' and emphasized the need for an urgent response to address the root causes of acute hunger and malnutrition, as well as overhaul food supply systems.
