GENEVA — A U.N. expert said Monday that Israeli clearance of rubble in Gaza could destroy valuable evidence of "atrocity crimes" and prevent the recovery of human remains.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, said that several areas in the Gaza Strip where Israeli forces were deployed, were leveled with bulldozers without any respect for the dead buried under the rubble. This was done in a statement issued by Turk, Tuesday, on the removal of bodies from the ruins of buildings in the Gaza Strip, which had been almost completely destroyed by the Israeli war of extermination.
