UN Fact Finding Mission on Gaza to hold public hearings

The United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict will hold public hearings in Gaza City and Geneva.

The hearings in Gaza City will be held on the 28th and 29th of June, and those in Geneva on the 6th and 7th of July.

The hearings are part of the information-gathering work of the mission which is investigating allegations of human rights violations during the recent conflict between Hamas and the Israeli army.

The public hearings will enable victims from all sides of the conflict, and experts on its consequences and impact to be able to speak directly to the international community about their experiences.

Members of the mission will interview victims, witnesses and experts at the headquarters of the UN Relief Agency for Palestinian Refugees in Gaza and the hearings will be shown live for the public and the media.
