Removal of millions of tonnes of Gaza rubble raises evidence concerns
Rights organisations warn the clearance could destroy material evidence.
A large-scale operation to demolish, crush and remove millions of tonnes of rubble from the Gaza Strip has raised concerns among human rights organisations that the process could erase evidence of alleged war crimes.
Rubble at a destroyed site carries forensic information: the position of remains, the pattern of a collapse, munition fragments.
Once material is crushed and moved, that record cannot be reconstructed from photographs alone.
