The United Nations has requested that Israel allow international investigators unrestricted access to all parts of Gaza to gather evidence regarding the recovery of human remains from destroyed sites. Since November, over 630 bodies have been recovered in Gaza, and an estimated 8,000 people remain missing under rubble, raising concerns about potential war crimes committed during the ongoing conflict. The UN's rights chief Volker Turk emphasized the need to document and identify these victims thoroughly, warning that extensive remains found under the rubble indicate further atrocities may be uncovered.

Story summary
The United Nations has urged Israel to permit international investigators access to every part of Gaza, citing the discovery of hundreds of bodies mostly comprising women and children. Since November 2026, over 630 bodies and other human remains have been recovered from beneath destroyed buildings in Gaza, with an estimated 8,000 people still missing under rubble. UN rights chief Volker Turk expressed concern that these recoveries might represent only a fraction of the total dead. He noted that much of Gaza has been flattened by Israeli bombing and demolition, raising suspicions about potential war crimes during the conflict.
