Here’s the thing too - there was an interview on the news in my country with an Israeli legal expert on sexual assault. She was pleased with the UN report investigating Hamas’ sexual assaults.

When asked if there would be a similar UN investigation for Palestinians, she said she didn’t see why the UN needed to because Palestine has its own agencies on the ground who can investigate.

Except the media also tells us not to believe anything UNWRA says because of Hamas involvement with UNWRA.

How is that fair? The Palestinian civilians are caught in an impossible trap.

Also, even if they were found credible, there's a bit of a lack of journalists to look into things right now. They seem to keep mysteriously dying.

There's a video on r/Palestine right now showing the UN "investigator" basically admitting that she used Zaka statements for her report of Hamas raping people when a journalist asks her.
