UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk expressed concern over the recovery of hundreds of bodies from buildings destroyed by Israeli strikes in Gaza since late 2023, suggesting possible war crimes. Turk noted that many victims were women and children, with more than 630 bodies recovered since November 2025, and estimated that over 8,000 people remain buried under the rubble. He urged for international investigators to be granted access to preserve evidence amid ongoing legal proceedings regarding conduct during Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.
