The White House has expressed concern over the discovery of mass graves in two hospitals in the Gaza Strip that were destroyed during a recent military offensive. The White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan stated that the information is very worrying and that they have been in contact with the Israeli Government at multiple levels. They want to understand exactly what happened and are seeking detailed information about the circumstances surrounding the mass graves.
The Gaza Strip authorities, controlled by Hamas, reported the discovery of more than 320 bodies in graves at Naser Hospital in Khan Younis and another 30 bodies in the Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. While the Israeli Army has denied the accusations, stating that they examined mortal remains as part of their efforts during the raid to locate hostages, there is an urgent need for a thorough examination of the events that unfolded in these hospitals.
Both the White House and United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights are calling for transparency and accountability in order to fully understand and address this troubling situation. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has called for an independent and transparent investigation into the findings. The White House is calling for a comprehensive investigation so that everyone, including themselves, can have a clear understanding of what occurred.
