Security Council request to investigate mass graves in Gaza

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, the United Nations Security Council issued a statement demanding An immediate independent and comprehensive investigation was conducted into the reports related to the discovery of mass graves in the Gaza Strip and emphasized the need to allow inspectors access to these graves. They expressed their deep concern over the reports of the discovery of mass graves in and around Nasser and Shafa hospitals in the Gaza Strip, in which the bodies of hundreds of civilians, including women and children, were found, and that necessary investigations should be conducted on these graves. .

The Security Council demanded that the inspectors be allowed access to all mass grave sites in the Gaza Strip in order to conduct an immediate, independent, comprehensive and impartial investigation, and stressed that all parties must comply with their obligations under international law, including human rights. International humanitarian and human rights should adhere to the protection of civilians. And there are reports of the discovery of mass graves in Shafa Medical Complex in the north of Gaza and Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis, located in the south of the Gaza Strip. A few days ago, the government information office in the Gaza Strip announced that The medical teams discovered the third mass grave inside the Shafa Hospital, from which the bodies of 49 martyrs have been removed so far, and the process of exhumation is still ongoing, and it is expected that dozens more bodies have been hidden in this grave by the soldiers of the occupying army.

While about a month has passed since the discovery of mass graves in Gaza hospitals used by the occupying forces to hide the bodies of Palestinian martyrs, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Watch announced that the exact number of graves as well as the bodies hidden in them It is not clear yet, and we need urgent international action, including the formation of an urgent independent international investigation committee to investigate this matter, and it seems that thousands of civilians who were subjected to arbitrary and extra-legal executions are buried in these graves.

The said organization stated that its teams in examining the bodies of victims buried in mass graves found that many of them were handcuffed when they died, and also evidence shows that many of these victims were injured and sick. . In addition to that, bodies were discovered whose bodies were completely decomposed and some bodies were also dismembered, and these bodies belong to civilians who were crushed under the bulldozers of the Israeli army, and the scenes that can be seen are very horrible.

Human rights sources who sent their teams to inspect mass graves in Gaza hospitals concluded that a large number of martyrs buried in these graves were deliberately targeted by the occupation forces and the bodies of many of these martyrs were found in pieces and inside bags. Garbage had been left so that they could not be found, and the examination of some bodies showed that the occupiers had stolen their body parts. Meanwhile, the Zionist authorities have brazenly denied committing these heinous crimes by the soldiers of the Zionist army. And they claimed that these soldiers were searching these graves with the sole aim of finding Israeli prisoners!
