OHCHR alarmed by reports of mass graves in Gaza

Disturbing reports continue to emerge about mass graves in Gaza in which Palestinian victims were found reportedly stripped naked with their hands tied. Responding to these developments the UN human rights office OHCHR expressed deep concern about possible war crimes. OHCHR spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani.

In the statement, the United Nations human rights chief Volker Türk said the UN human rights office had “renewed concerns about possible war crimes” after officials in Gaza reported finding hundreds of bodies in mass graves at Nasser medical complex in Khan Younis after Israeli forces withdrew from the area in southern Gaza earlier this month.

Palestinian authorities also said they had found bodies at the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City in the north.
