Israel has argued Hamas was using the hospital, while investigations into the strike and related attacks remain limited, prompting renewed calls for transparent investigations and accountability.

Gaza's Burial Crisis: Cemeteries Buckle Under War as Space Runs Dry

Gaza is grappling with a burial crisis as the war drives up casualties and devastates cemeteries: more than 40 cemeteries have been destroyed, burial spaces are exhausted, and access to graves is restricted. Families are burying loved ones in shared plots or on makeshift sites, sometimes marking graves with simple stones due to cost and space limits (one Khan Younis plot swelled from about 60 graves to around 6,000). Authorities warn new burial grounds are needed, transfers of remains must be carefully coordinated, and temporary markers are used until funds allow proper headstones. In the meantime, remains continue to be recovered from mass graves (529 bodies across seven hospital sites), underscoring the ongoing toll of the conflict on the living and the dead alike.

Israel ends criminal probe into Gaza aid convoy strike, prompting international backlash

Israel’s military prosecutor announced there will be no criminal investigation into the April 2024 airstrike on a World Central Kitchen convoy in Gaza that killed seven aid workers, including Jacob Flickinger. The army had previously said the convoy was mistaken for Hamas targets and disciplined some officers; Canada’s foreign minister Anita Anand called the decision unacceptable and urged a fully independent inquiry, while World Central Kitchen and other governments pressed for accountability. The ruling drew Australian and other international criticism and renewed calls from Canadian leaders for transparency, leaving families seeking answers after a deadly strike in a conflict where humanitarian workers are at risk.
