United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has demanded an independent investigation into reports by Palestinian authorities of mass graves discovered in Gaza, after bodies with hands tied or medical tubes attached to them were found in multiple sites, including two hospitals.
Speaking on Tuesday, he said It was imperative that independent international investigators with forensic expertise be allowed immediate access to the sites of the mass graves to establish the precise circumstances under which the Palestinians lost their lives and were buried or reburied.

He also urged Israel against invading southern Gaza’s city of Rafah, the last refuge for more than 1.4 million Palestinians, after the Israeli prime minister said an offensive would go forward regardless of the outcome of truce talks with Hamas.
He said a military assault on Rafah would be, in his own words, an unbearable escalation, killing thousands more civilians and forcing hundreds of thousands to flee.
