The Palestinian Centre for the Missing and Forcibly Disappeared warned of grave consequences from Israel's demolition and removal of debris from destroyed buildings across Gaza, saying the haphazard handling of rubble—particularly in areas suspected of containing missing persons—risks destroying evidence of mass atrocities, Shehab Wire reported. The centre stressed that indiscriminate treatment of debris amounts to obstruction of accountability and violates international humanitarian law obligations to preserve sites and remains.
The organization called for an immediate halt to demolition operations in conflict zones and urgent protection of mass grave locations. Officials emphasized that the systematic clearing of rubble without proper documentation threatens to eliminate physical proof of alleged war crimes and blocks efforts to identify and recover the deceased.
