The United Nations (UN) Human Rights Chief, Volker Tück, has expressed disgust by the destruction of Nasser and Al-Shifa Hospitals in Gaza, as well as the reports of “mass graves” being discovered at the sites following Israeli raids.

According to bbc.com:
Volker Türk called for independent investigations into the deaths.
Palestinian officials said they had exhumed the bodies of almost 300 people at Nasser. It is not clear how they died or when they were buried.
Israel’s military said claims that it buried bodies there were “baseless”.
But it did say that during a two-week operation at the hospital in the city of Khan Younis in February, troops “examined” bodies buried by Palestinians “in places where intelligence indicated the possible presence of hostages”.
