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.

Quick Glance: UNRWA Report Highlights Lack of Evidence for Israel's Employee Militancy Claims
  • An independent review commissioned by the United Nations found that Israel has not provided evidence to support its accusation that a 'significant' number of employees of the U.N. relief agency for Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip are members of terrorist organizations.

  • The review, led by former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna, revealed that UNRWA 'plays an indispensable and irreplaceable role in the region,' despite issues such as employees expressing political views and offices being used for 'political or military purposes'.

  • The review listed recommendations to enhance UNRWA operations, including improved training, more rigorous employee screening, and a thorough review of all textbooks and supplements.

  • Concerns were raised regarding the screening of UNRWA employees and the content of textbooks, while Israel has yet to provide evidence to support the claim that a significant number of UNRWA employees are members of terrorist organizations.
