The UN has accused Israel of firing on deceased Palestinians and participants in funeral processions. A UN report on the coordination of humanitarian affairs claims that Israeli strikes affect Palestinians attempting to recover people from rubble after previous attacks. UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric reported this, specifically emphasizing that women and children are among the victims. The UN Human Rights Office published a report pointing to possible violations of international humanitarian law by Israel during its operation in the Gaza Strip. The authors examined six Israeli strikes which, in their assessment, led to numerous Palestinian casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure. Earlier, it was reported that a UN commission alleged that Israeli military personnel forcibly stripped Palestinians as punishment. Israel rejected these allegations, calling the commission's findings unfounded and biased. Israel's mission to the UN in Geneva categorically rejected the commission's conclusions.
