On September 15, 2026, the United Nations urged for international investigators to be granted access to Gaza to assist with evidence-gathering following the recovery of hundreds of bodies from rubble. The UN rights chief Volker Turk highlighted concerns over war crimes after more than 630 bodies were recovered since November, with an estimated 8,000 missing under the rubble in Gaza. The article reports that Israel's bombardment, which began following a Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, has killed over 73,000 Palestinians according to Gaza’s health ministry figures.

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.
