The UN rights chief has harshly condemned an Israel army attack last week on an emergency convoy that killed 15 aid workers and medical personnel and demanded an investigation, AFP reports.
“I condemn the attack by the Israeli army on a medical and emergency convoy on March 23 resulting in the killing of 15 medical personnel and humanitarian workers in Gaza,” United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk said in a statement.
“The subsequent discovery of their bodies eight days later in Rafah, buried near their clearly marked destroyed vehicles, is deeply disturbing,” he added.
“This raises significant questions with regard to the conduct of the Israeli army during and in the aftermath of the incident.”
