The United Nations has accused Israel of alleged abuses carried out
against thousands of Palestinians detained since war erupted in Gaza
last October citing serious violations that may amount to torture.
According to the UN's Human Rights office, it had gathered testimonies
that indicate a range of "appalling acts, such as waterboarding and
the release of dogs on detainees".
The report states that many Palestinians were taken into custody while
sheltering in schools, hospitals and residential buildings.
Some of the detainees included UNRWA staff.
A spokesperson, Jeremy Laurence says these acts are in flagrant
violation of international human rights law and international
humanitarian law.
