UN begins inquiry into attacks and weapons in Gaza

The United Nations has begun investigating Israeli attacks that hit UN facilities during last summer's Gaza war and how Palestinian militants came to store weapons at several UN schools, officials said on Wednesday.

 

A team of UN investigators arrived in Gaza on Tuesday to conduct the inquiry, three months after the war ended. They had already met with Israeli representatives in Jerusalem. The investigation is expected to last three weeks.

 

"They are visiting the affected sites, they are conducting meetings and interviews with people who were involved," Robert Turner, the director of operations for the UN Relief and Works Agency in Gaza told reporters. "It is specifically to look at violations of neutrality of UN installations."
