UN Faces Scrutiny Over Gaza Violence and Alleged War Crimes
TL;DR Summary
A UN report found evidence of a "deliberate" pattern of sexual violence by Hamas during the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, but could not confirm specific allegations of rape, sexual torture, or genital mutilation due to limited access to victims and sites. The report also noted sexual and gender-based violence by Israeli forces in Gaza. The Israeli government did not cooperate with the UN inquiry, complicating the investigation.
