UN fact-finding panel allowed into Gaza

A fact-finding panel dispatched by the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has entered the blockaded Gaza Strip through the Erez border terminal, a Palestinian official said Wednesday.
The panel‘s entry into Gaza – for the purpose of investigating human rights violations committed by Israel during this summer‘s military offensive on the Gaza Strip – was initially barred by Israeli authorities.
