UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese called for the release of all hostages, both Israeli and Palestinian, following the tragic deaths of six hostages in Gaza over the weekend. She expressed her condolences and solidarity for those mourning their loved ones and emphasized the need for accountability for this heinous crime.
An autopsy revealed that the hostages were shot in the head 48-72 hours before being discovered by the IDF under Rafah. Albanese’s statement on social media garnered attention and highlighted the urgency of the situation.
Condoleances and solidarity to all those who are mourning their beloved ones. May all hostages, whomever their captors, be freed.#Israeli #Palestinian #Gaza
