The White House on Thursday demanded a thorough and transparent investigation into the mass graves found in Gaza after discovering two mass graves, according to a statement by the US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.

Earlier, the US State Department expressed its concern about the mass graves in Gaza, which resulted from the ongoing Israeli Occupation aggression on the Strip.

The Gaza Civil Defense discovered three mass graves within the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, containing hundreds of martyrs.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk voiced deep concern about the reports of mass graves in these hospitals, emphasizing the need for "independent, effective, and transparent investigations" to bring those responsible for the murders to justice.

As of the latest reports, since October 7, 34,262 Palestinians were martyred and 77,229 injured.
