Bodies continue to emerge from rubble in Gaza more than three years after Israeli bombardment destroyed entire neighbourhoods, UN News reported. The dead pulled from the wreckage are overwhelmingly women and children, according to the UN rights chief, who linked the ongoing recovery efforts to potential war crimes.
The scale of destruction across Gaza has persisted despite the passage of years since the initial bombardment campaign. The UN official's assessment suggests systematic patterns in the targeting or effects of military operations that may warrant investigation under international humanitarian law.
