The UN Office for Human Rights expressed grave concern over escalating reports from Palestinians returning to Gaza who say they face physical violence, threats, and humiliating treatment, Shehab Wire reported. The returnees also documented arbitrary searches conducted by Israeli soldiers and armed militia members at entry points to the territory.
The office did not specify the total number of cases or the precise timeframe covered by the reports. The allegations add to documented concerns about conditions faced by Palestinians at Gaza's crossing points, where returnees have reported abuse during screening and inspection procedures.
