Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special rapporteur on the Palestinian territories, warned on Monday that ongoing efforts to clear rubble in Gaza under Israeli control could result in the destruction of critical evidence. The expert stated that the removal process threatens to erase traces of potential atrocity crimes and hinders the recovery and identification of human remains buried within the debris.
The warning highlights concerns regarding the preservation of forensic evidence in conflict-affected areas. By removing large-scale rubble, authorities risk permanently losing data necessary for future investigations into potential crimes and complicating the humanitarian process of identifying victims.
