South Africa calls for an urgent international investigation into the mass graves in the Gaza Strip

South Africa has called on the international community to open an urgent and comprehensive investigation into the mass graves that were discovered in Gaza Strip following the Israeli occupation’s withdrawal from some areas.

The Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation in South Africa said in a statement today, reported by Wafa Agency, that the mass graves that were discovered in the Nasser and Shifa hospitals in Gaza Strip after the Israeli occupation withdrew from them raise terror, noting that “Israel”, which continues its war on Gaza, ignores the decisions of the International Court of Justice and remains unpunished even though evidence of its mass killings of civilians points to war crimes and genocide.

South Africa called on the Court to launch a comprehensive and impartial investigation into this case in accordance with the standards of international law to uncover the facts and bring those responsible to justice, pointing out that international humanitarian law protects human life in times of war by prohibiting attacks against civilians and that it is the duty of the international community to ensure a proper investigation into the atrocities committed.
