Independently verify doesn't mean "calling the party that made the initial claim".
It means finding other verifiable sources.
And in this case, it's going to be really hard to do that as Israel doesn't allow journalists unsupervised access to Gaza, which more responsible news outlets mention when they say they can't independently verify claims.
That's a totally fair criticism.
Also false. There is satellite footage of the ambulances surrounded by Israeli troops and UN video of the bodies being dug up.
These "news" outlets also do not mention they "cannot independently verify claims" when they are putting IDF quotes in their headlines
Like say...
The UN who made the claim?
“the Palestine Red Crescent Society said”. Where do you get the UN from?

Also there is video footage from the UN digging up the bodies.
