UN probe accuses Israel of seeking to ‘destroy’ Gaza healthcare
Israel is deliberately targeting health facilities and killing and torturing medical personnel in Gaza, UN investigators say, accusing the country of “crimes against humanity.”
“Israel has perpetrated a concerted policy to destroy Gaza’s healthcare system as part of a broader assault on Gaza,” the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry says in a statement.
Israel says that Hamas fighters operate from the cover of built-up populated areas including private homes, schools and hospitals and that it will strike them wherever they emerge, while also trying to avoid harming civilians.
