- A UN expert warned that large-scale rubble removal in Gaza under Israeli control could conceal evidence of crimes.
- The expert also cautioned that the process could make it harder to identify bodies amid the destruction.
The mass removal of rubble in Gaza could erase more than the physical remains of destroyed buildings, a United Nations expert warned. She said the process may conceal evidence of crimes and make it harder to identify bodies.
The warning concerns rubble removal in areas under Israeli control. The expert raised the issue as displaced Palestinians struggle to survive among the extensive destruction caused by Israeli attacks in Gaza City.
The report included an image of a tent camp in Gaza City, where Palestinians displaced by the destruction were living on Sept. 3, 2026. The warning was published on Sept. 7.
