Calls grow for Gaza mass graves investigation
The White House has described reports of mass graves in Gaza as ‘deeply distrurbing’.
The European Union and the United Nations have joined international calls for an independent probe into the situation as more than 300 bodies have been retrieved from two mass graves at hospitals in Gaza following the withdrawal of Israeli forces.
On Wednesday, another 51 bodies were found in the grounds of a hospital in Khan Younis. More than 300 have been discovered since Saturday. Hospitals have protection under international law – but have come under heavy Israeli bombardment since Israel’s war on Gaza began in October.
US National security adviser Jake Sullivan says Washington wants answers.
