(VOVworld) - UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Monday appointed a five-member panel Monday to investigate Israeli attacks on UN shelters during the Gaza war and the discovery of Hamas weapons at UN sites.Ban announced plans to set up a probe during his visit to Gaza last month after describing Israeli shelling of UN-run schools as a "moral outrage".

The inquiry, led by former Dutch general Patrick Cammaert will "review and investigate a number of specific incidents in which death or injuries occurred at, and damage was done to, United Nations premises," UN spokesman Farhan Haq said, adding that it will focus on incidents between July 8 and August 26.
