A UN fact-finding mission arrived in Gaza via Rafah on Friday, and is scheduled to collect testimonials from victims from the Israeli war on the coastal region carried out over December and January.
The mission will hold public sessions on Sunday and Monday in Gaza while two other sessions will be held in Geneva on 6 and 7 July. The mission will fly both Gazans and Israelis from the border towns near the Strip to Switzerland to give testimony, because Israel refused to host the UN-sponsored group on its territory.
Sessions are aimed at collecting information from victims of the war so specialists can study consequences and impact.
Due to security arrangements in Gaza, media outlets will be invited to cover the procedures of the hearing sessions from a hall outside the actual site where testimonials are being collected. The sessions will be broadcast live in the hall for the media, and will also be transmitted to satellite channels from the Palestinian Red Crescent in Tal Al-Hawa south west of Gaza city in front of the Al-Quds hospital.
The filming will be carried out by two TV crews contracted by the UN on Sunday 28 June and Monday 29 June from 8:30-1:30 and 2:30-5:00 local time.
