A good start to ask the majority open beatings, 16 year old darwin blanche and straight fast went back to the 2nd one. The thanks for joining us. Palestinian officials and gaza have been presenting evidence. They say proves the history. The ministry carried out torture and executions. In con eunice, it comes to the bodies recovered during the mass graves of gauze and maybe 400. 00 bodies to be an exemption. 2 sides of the nasa and ill ship a hospital compounds. If some glen fed reports. Good, good. This is mother screams, are evidence the moments before her sons body was pulled from a mass grave at the mass of the hospital compound in hon. Eunice, the doctor mohammed my are from guys of Civil Defense is showing videos and pictures to a room full of reporters. He wants the world to see the dozens of bodies they found, and to answer for them. Like that of her fathers young girl is covered with her legs amputated, movies. And that is we found the body of it for a number of children. We have the question is why do we have children and most of graves, a child, a patient still in scrubs . A man with his hands tied a bullet to the head. In the past week, doctor mal hired and whose teams have gathered forensic evidence from nearly 400 bodies, their report find signs of summary executions and physical torture. See about that just to get into again. Its not some bodies still have but can you law on them, which shows they have a patients who are receiving treatment and then also hospital dental. It is, i believe it also has approximately 10 bodies were found with their hands tied. I mean each for the forensic examination for 20 bodies, for people we think might have been buried alive. But theyre asking for an independent investigation to check their findings and document them. These really military dismissed accusations, its forces buried bodies before they withdrew from the compound. As baseless is wally troops have pulled out of gauze as to main hospitals. And recent weeks, Civil Defense crews later dug up dozens of corpses from 2 mass graves and the l. Schieffer. Medical center in gaza city while at least 392 bodies were discovered in 3 different sites on the grounds of the na said hospital. More than half of them have yet to be identified. Plunging their families in constant anguish. But by god, i can no longer bear it everyday. I come here in search to sit down. He went missing and every day i come 2 or 3 times to search please. Whoever knows any information about him. She told me. Is he alive or was he taken by the is read news or anything to now the us is joining calls from the you and the you, when demanding an explanation from israel, calling the discoveries deeply disturbing. If this i am again food alger 0 for any of my colleague Robert Mathis and spoke with dr. Muhammed down again, hes the heads of the monitoring and documenting unit to the Civil Defense department in gaza. And was one of the officials that have that press conference where the evidence was present as to the band with them if you have any during our work with the Civil Defense team in order to recover the bodies of vanessa hospital, we have found a mass graves within the medical complex one into more and one of the most of the complex civil teams have locked in order to recover rules, the bodies. Most of them would decompose bodies and the Occupation Forces of change the shrouds and put them in plastic bags. We believe that those backs have accelerated, the decomposition of those bodies. We are also trying to documents all the evidence that shows that many copes is all parties have shown signs of torture, including hand coughing. Some other bodies have shown signs of gunshot wounds. We have observed that they were corpse, is completely dismember. We also found the bodies of women, young people, and the elderly in the area around the medical complex. Somebodys were found with no clothes. Well, some of the body shows that they were being treated at the hospital. One of the bodies to be uncovered was the receiving treatment. We are trying to establish will the evidence as to how those bodies have been buried. We have also noted that many bodies have been put in one back, which is in violation of the regulations that we have here. So can you tell me what efforts you and your team have made to record and preserve the evidence that you say that you found an a little from the south . We walk in extremely difficult and challenging conditions. This is due to the fact that we are lacking the necessary equipment to deal with. The bodies are maintained them. We use the available equipment that we have to recover the bodies. You have tried as much as possible not to open the bags in order to preserve the bodies until they move to a clean area. And we can document the evidence that shows signs of torture. And this in violation of international take note of all the evidence we can identify the problem started with the bodies. Im documenting this in specialized reports. This can be used to help international committees in order to investigate the crimes committed by the occupation. First, with the evidence that you have managed to pull together, what do you do with it . How do you get it to . Im independent team to be able to analyze it and the guy is doing it says, heres my left with a and we all ready and fully prepared in order to submit the full reports documented with all the photos and evidence that we have found above the body. So that we can publish them and submit them in arabic and english so that it can be a foundation for the work that can be conducted by international investigation. Committees. We are ready and goals are to help that work in order to push the Occupation Forces to refrain from the crimes committed against the people of cause. During our work, we have found children in the mass graves. Why are we finding children in my scrapes . This confirmed the number of children we have documented that a bite is more than 14000. Are you concerned so that if an independent team is unable to get into gaza to be able to examine the evidence for themselves, thatd be evidence might become corrupted. It might become damaged, im therefore may become unusable if a case is to be brought to the site. I dont think so because we have made sure to document all the evidence that we have found so far. Those bodies have been identified with a known or not tonight. We will accept all our efforts in order to maintain and preserve the evidence we found in order to present it to international and investigation committees on it. And well document it properly so that we can convey the message of the Palestinian People to the wild. Holistic a further look at the implications of this evidence. Now when i am shy, boss whos professor of International Lord middlesex university, london, he was the chairman of the you and commission of inquiry into because a conflict in 2014 and joins us now live from normandy. But he, thanks for your time. Let me start by asking you, this wont kind and should the International Community do with evidence of this kind as well. I think the 1st thing is that the evidence has to be really secured by forensic specialists. I saw a doctor al mayors presentation and the evidence that they have collected. But they really need advice from forensics specialist about how to gather the evidence to ensure because were, were dealing with the crime scene here. And it has to be properly investigated. The question then is where it is and where does it go . Does it go on the political level where i think we can reach conclusions and where in a way theres more flexibility or do we take it to a court . And thats the big question. Because as i say, this may be, it appears to be evidence of Serious International crimes being committed. We want to be able to get that evidence into court, given that it requires international expertise. Will it be, do you think taken up by any independent International Body . What are the challenges that as well, im sure there are a specialists who are, who are in a position to advise those who are on the ground and got so they may not be able to go there to supervisor, but they can give them the advice that they need, in order to a, gather the evidence. It may involve, for example, saying to leave this on, touched, and to secure the crime side and to investigate it later. Again, this is not something that im equipped, im an international lawyer. I dont know the details of this, but i know, and i need an expert to advise me on how to gather the evidence. Of course, ultimately, thats evidence thats going to be useful if we can identify the perpetrators. And the problem here is whether were dealing with a crime on a wide scale level one that is a mass crime or whether were talking about isolated killing. So dr. Romeros spoke about people whose lives were tied and would been executed with with bullets. So they have this obviously points to the summer to execute sion. The question is, was that carried on a mass scale or where the as the, where the we were the events of that rather morris related. So theres a something we can only tell when theres a full or exhumation, an investigation, again by people who are specialist at the field. And in addition, according to that report, according to the monitoring and documenting unit, the Civil Defense department that also bodies that have medical calculus still in the arms as well, with all sorts of implications. Of course, when we think of mass graves, we think of acts of genocide committed to the likes of 72. 00 in the 19 ninetys during the youngest law for how might this evidence be considered within the context of genocide claims being made against israel . Of the in special court of justice. And im sure that thats a relevant piece of evidence thats going to be produced by the south africans in the case of the International Court of justice. And eventually, if we ever get the case of the International Criminal court as well, these are shocking, horrible things. And we know that historically, when we see scenes of mass graves conducted in this sort of context, that inevitably lurking within the graves. There are International Crimes for crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity. Putting them shape. Its very important to hear your thoughts on that many thanks. I. So now were getting reports that say 8 people who work to secure a need help being killed and goes that lets go straight to Power Company whos in, whos in rafa to the south of the strip and timing quotes. Are you hearing about these aid workers . Yeah, same facts and theyve at least 8 palestinians have been killed and that attacks that have targeted people who are responsible for securing a deliveries to the northern parts of the gaza strip. They have been hit near amelia junction and tell him how a neighbor who to us they are trying to secure the humanitarian chromeboys. Now clearly this is not the early on the 1st attack. This has been carried out that games 8 work as the ministry has no records in tracking, not only 8 workers, but only 8 c k as well, except for areas in the territory. Now we have been also observing a slight increase in terms of the numbers of humanitarian folks that are allowed to get into the northern parts of the gaza strip. Now, in order these trucks to, in order to get to the know their part of the territory, they must be secured in order to not be booted by hungry citizens in the north. As recently, the United Nations have been distributing guides in such areas alongside with different chargeable organizations for desperate concepts who have been really cut off from humanitarian supplies over the course of the past few months spots this attack is a new one that had been cleared up within the past couple of hours as the, the palestinians have been organizing on a pair of committees that could be responsible for securing aid off to the repeated a tax on police cause and vehicles. They were, as they were trying to secure the deliveries of such a huge to the, to the another at pots of the church rate. And the aim of these attacks is to create systematically, a state of carriers among the residents in the north. I dont know what to guarantee that time and still ongoing that on the ground among the residents. Indeed. Now theyre positive because of strep, ontario thoughts, 2 or more deaths and rough uh, head of, uh, highly anticipated is already sold a southern goza. Yes. Um, we have been recording since that out of his day. You more attacks on wifi District Court earlier, a palestinians have to report a coupon to now we have been hearing a contest and buzzing of the military. Drones in the central areas. We can visibly old zack to drones hovering into central areas since the last couple of hours thought clearly of the attacks according to what this has happened really and widely target said specifically in the im as a rock refugee campbell with and what ill call area, which is now considered to be the focus of the minute you confrontations with how much flight is on its way to susan. As a result of these attacks to destruction have been really inflected to the neighborhoods that tweed, it contains residence, as, according to gods health ministry. At least for the palestinians have to within the past 24 hours, our new entries included some medical solutions have been arriving to unlocks the hospital in the middle area alongside to allow me to come facility in that area. Specifically in large of the search increase of attacks on these parts of the gaza strip as a part of the ministry campaigns that the ministry had the nouns regarding within the past couple of hours in the mid the regions of the gaza strip reporting from rafa to recovery say thank you for the well feed programs directory and gaza is wonderful. They fully fleshed is really ministry, a salt, a rafa will cope thousands that we have really concerns about any kind of in cushion interest to the, to displace hundreds of thousands of people. Ive just driven through uh con eunice to get here um from one side of the gaza strip to the other and seen the level of destruction across the us on eunice. If that happens, roughly tens of thousands of people will die. If that happens in rafa. Hundreds of thousands of people will be displaced again, more misery, more needs the we will need to have to try and resolve an Mc Residential bite and then other will leaders have released a joint statement, coolants the release of israeli hostages being held and gaza like on his other white house with more or less and might view as president joining forces with other well leaders to put pressure precisely on a mass. What else does this statement say . While it is intended to put pressure to bear on him must to release the captive as saying that if he must release the captives being held in gaza and listen to and would allow the opening up of the gossip full more humanitarian supplies to go in the letter was signed by 18 countries including the United States, but interestingly enough makes no reference to the palestinian prisoners being held. And hes ready to help the negotiations that have been under way scented on some form of swap. They swap up captives for palestinians being held in his rate he chose. But this letter by the 18 countries refers only to the captives being held by a mouse and does not go any further at that. So while this may be seemed to be putting pressure on him us, it also may be seen as being an attempt to cut through the very nature of the negotiations that have been going on by removing the clothes, insisting that palestinian prisoners get released from the negotiation table, im like, how is this the got extremely grim evidence for mass graves and gall is being received the in washington . Is it likely to make a difference what it doesnt appear so because the immediately action of the white house, the National Security advisor in the white house came some 24 hours ago in which Jake Sullivan said that these reports were disturbing, that they would be finding out what was going on and they would be seeking answers from the is re lease. Now, as i said, that was a day ago. The has to be no further update from the white house in terms of any possible is rate the response with regard to those grades. Similarly with the state department, the initial reaction from the state department for us that word as well. Uh, disturbing, saying that it was still attempting to find out exactly the full details of what happened with regard to those res. Similarly, this being very little from the state department, taking its reaction further to that initial reaction to the reports of those mess waves. My kind of money. Thanks. I so its just over a week since the students at Columbia University began that process demanding the university comp ties with israel and accept no further funding from these traded government students at harvard georgetown, mit and most recently, George Washington university on demanding the same protest. Have spread across the United States to campuses in several different states and could be michigan, texas and california. Hundreds of students are gathering at George Washington university in the us capital to show solidarity. Testing is in gaza. Students from Georgetown University of most across the u. S. Capital to the income limits at George Washington university, across the United States, students that demanding the universities comp Financial Times of this route, and divest from companies they say, enable on goes up to correspondence a covering the products as across the u. S. Product go hey, this standing by for us at George Washington university in washington, d. C. But 1st to john henry and whos at Columbia University in new york.
