UN chief urges independent probe into Gaza mass graves

On Tuesday, United Nations chief Antonio Guterres voiced concern over reports of mass graves unearthed in Gaza, which included sites at two hospitals.

He also raised allegations that those buried may have been unlawfully killed, stressing the need for an independent investigation.

"It is imperative that independent international investigators with forensic expertise are allowed the immediate access to the sites of these mass graves to establish the precise circumstances under which the Palestinians lost their lives and were buried or reburied," Guterres said.
