THE United Nations today demanded an inquiry into possible war crimes by Israeli forces in Gaza.

The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) office, based in the West Bank City of Ramallah, said they have received “disturbing information alleging that Israeli Defence Forces summarily killed at least 11 unarmed Palestinian men” in front of their family members.

This comes as the UN security council was set to take its delayed vote on a resolution for a temporary ceasefire to allow humanitarian aid to reach the besieged people of Gaza.
