Volker Turk, the UN rights chief, expressed concern over possible war crimes following the recovery of hundreds of bodies from sites destroyed by Israeli strikes in Gaza since October 2023. The remains include entire families and mostly women and children, according to a statement released on September 15. Turk cited an earlier UN report suggesting that Israeli attacks on civilian buildings may have violated international humanitarian law. Palestinians estimate over 8,000 people remain buried under the rubble in Gaza, with recovery efforts hindered by Israel's restrictions on heavy machinery entry.
