The European Union on Wednesday backed a United Nations demand for an independent probe into the reported discovery of mass graves at two Gaza hospitals destroyed in Israeli sieges. «This is something that forces us to call for an independent investigation of all the suspicions and all the circumstances, because indeed it creates the impression that there might have been violations of international human rights committed,» EU spokesman Peter Stano said. «That's why it's important to have independent investigation and to ensure accountability.» The UN rights office said Tuesday international investigators should be involved in a probe into the discovery of the bodies. The UN rights office said it was «horrified» by the destruction of Gaza's two biggest hospitals, Al-Shifa in Gaza City and the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis. Gaza's Civil Defence agency said Tuesday that health workers uncovered nearly 340 bodies of people allegedly killed and buried by Israeli forces at the Nasser complex. Israel's army called claims that its troops had buried bodies during its operation at Nasser «baseless and unfounded». The army has said around 200 militants were killed, and weapons stockpiles recovered, during its operation at Al-Shifa. Around 30 bodies were reported found buried in two graves in the Al-Shifa courtyard. Hospitals, which have protection under international law, have repeatedly come under Israeli bombardment over more than six months of war in Gaza. Israel has accused Palestinian militant group Hamas of using medical facilities as command centres and to hold hostages abducted during its attack inside Israel on October 7 which set off the war. Hamas has denied the claims. The October 7 attack resulted in the deaths of around 1,170 people in Israel, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures. In retaliation, Israel launched a military offensive that has killed at least 34,183 people in Gaza, mostly women and children, according to the Hamas-run territory's health ministry. © Agence France-Presse
The number of people in France living beyond 110 years is growing fast, the national demographic studies institute said Wednesday, with women dominating the supercentenarian contest. The phenomenon was unheard of in France of until the late 1980s, but in 2022 the authorities recorded 39 cases of people dying aged 110 or older, the INED institute said in a report. Centenarians, meanwhile, have seen a «spectacular» rise in numbers, INED said, growing from around 1,000 in 1970 to 8,000 in 2000 and 31,000 at the start of this year. On current trends, 200,000 people in France will be 100 or older by 2070, it said. «We're seeing a spectacular rise of very old people,» France Mesle, one of the report's authors, told AFP, although she added that their number was still «negligible» in demographic terms. France's overall population is around 68 million, with over 20 percent aged 65 or over. The statistics are consistent with an earlier finding showing that the probability of reaching 100 or more is higher in France than in 15 other European countries. French women have the highest life expectancy in the European Union at 85.2 years in 2022. France also counted the EU's highest number of centenarians last year, according the national statistics institute Insee. Two of the four individuals worldwide recognized as having lived more than 118 years are French women: Jeanne Calment, the oldest recorded person who died at 122 years and 5 months, and Lucile Randon, who died just before her 119th birthday. Around 2,000 people in France were 105 years old or older in 2023. Of the 39 people who died at 110 or older in 2022, 38 were women. They were typically involved in manual occupations such as farming, and their diet was healthy, said Laurent Toussaint, an expert on supercentenarians. While the number of supercentenarians is evenly spread across metropolitan France, eight times as many can be found on average in the French overseas territories of Guadeloupe and Martinique. The report said there was no clear explanation for this phenomenon. It said, however, that the island populations, mostly descendants of slavery survivors, may have inherited more robust genes adding to their longevity than population segments that were never exposed to slavery. Marie-Rose Tessier, believed to be the oldest person in France, is 113 years and 11 months old. The oldest person in the world is Maria Branyas Morera, 117, who lives in Spain, according to the US Gerontology Research Group. © Agence France-Presse
