UN Inquiry Accuses Israel of Deliberate Health System Attacks in Gaza

A UN inquiry led by ex-UN human rights commissioner Navi Pillay accuses Israel of deliberate attacks on Gaza's health system during the Gaza war, suggesting war crimes and crimes against humanity. The inquiry highlights the impact on children and medical personnel and criticizes restricted medical evacuations.

A United Nations inquiry, headed by former UN human rights commissioner Navi Pillay, has accused Israel of conducting deliberate attacks on Gaza's healthcare system during the recent conflict, actions that the report claims amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Israel denies the claims, arguing that Hamas uses hospitals and populated areas for military purposes; however, the UN report highlights the severe impact on children and medical personnel.

The inquiry also points out restrictions placed on medical evacuations, and the findings, based on various sources, will be presented to the UN General Assembly later this month.
