UN warns of erasing Gaza crime evidence
The UN Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights Situation in the Palestinian Territories has called on authorities not to use debris removal operations in Gaza as a means to erase evidence of international crimes committed. This comes after reports indicating that Israel is deliberately and extensively engaging in the removal, crushing, and transportation of rubble. The Rapporteur emphasized that the debris contains human remains and crucial evidence for investigations, and destroying it could hinder efforts to identify victims and achieve justice. She urged for the recovery of human remains and the documentation of evidence before any debris removal takes place, warning that such actions could lead to criminal accountability for parties destroying evidence of international crimes. Since October 2023, the conflict in Gaza has resulted in the deaths of over 73,000 Palestinians and injuries to 174,000, with intensified bombing and destruction. The total amount of debris is estimated at approximately 68 million tons.
