AI Summary

medium article 3 min

An Australian senator, David Pocock, believes it is "very likely" that the remains of Australian soldiers buried in Gaza have been disturbed by Israeli bulldozing. New photos presented to parliament reveal widespread damage to headstones and displaced earth at the Gaza cemetery. Approximately 146 of the 263 Australian graves, mostly belonging to soldiers from World War I and II, have been damaged. The director of the Office of Australian War Graves stated it was "quite possible" that bodies were disturbed, moved, or damaged during the IDF bulldozing in April and May of last year. The Tuffah area of Gaza City, where the cemetery is located, has been shelled throughout the current conflict. The revelations have caused outrage, particularly among families of the deceased.
