Israeli Clearance of Gaza Rubble May Destroy Evidence of 'Atrocity Crimes,' Says UN Expert The warning by UN expert Francesca Albanese that Israel's clearance of rubble in Gaza may destroy valuable evidence of "atrocity crimes" serves as a stark reminder of the long term consequences of war.
The devastation wrought upon Gaza, which has generated around 61 million tons of wreckage and debris, is not only a humanitarian crisis but also a complex issue of forensic significance.
The accountability of those responsible for the clearance process, particularly when it involves Israeli companies, raises questions about the coordination between Israeli authorities and private entities.
