An unpublished report by UNRWA, the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, accuses Israeli troops of mistreating hundreds of Palestinians held in Gaza and brought to Israel for interrogation. The New York Times reported the news, adding that the report alleged that some detainees were “beaten, stripped, robbed, blindfolded, sexually abused, and denied access to lawyers and doctors, often for more.” than a month”. This alleged behavior was “used to extort information or confessions, to intimidate, humiliate and punish,” according to UNRWA. The IDF said any mistreatment was “absolutely forbidden,” denied all allegations of sexual abuse and said it was investigating all reports of inappropriate behavior, the report said.
