Emergency workers in Palestine are still discovering mass graves in and around three hospitals in the Gaza Strip, months after Israeli forces laid siege to them. More than 500 bodies have been uncovered, with signs of mutilation and torture, leading to allegations of war crimes. However, Israel denies these claims, stating that the bodies were buried by Palestinians during the conflict. The United Nations, United States, and European Union are calling for an independent investigation to determine the truth. Despite challenges in collecting evidence, Palestinian Civil Defence teams are documenting remains through photos and videos, with limited protective gear and equipment. Claims of ill treatment, torture, and unlawful killings have been made, with experts emphasizing the importance of preserving evidence in mass grave investigations. International organizations have expressed support for investigations, but the prospects of justice for the victims remain uncertain due to various obstacles.
