ICC war crimes prosecutors interviewed Gaza hospital staff over mass graves

Prosecutors from the International Criminal Court are reportedly interviewing staff from two hospitals in the Gaza Strip. That’s after the discovery of mass graves on the grounds of the two facilities. Hundreds of bodies were recovered from three mass graves on the premises of the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis this month. The remains of dozens more people were exhumed at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City after an Israeli siege of the facility. Both hospitals were left badly damaged and out of service after Israeli troops withdrew.
