UN finds evidence that Gaza hostages have been raped and tortured. A senior United Nations official claims in a chilling report that the agency reviewed “clear and convincing” information of sexual abuse after the Hamas attack in Israel on October 7.
“In the majority of these incidents, victims first subjected to rape were then murdered, and there are at least two cases of rape of female corpses,” the UN said in a press release on Monday. The U.N. report said there are “reasonable grounds to believe” that at least five rapes occurred during the Oct. 7 attack.
