The Palestinian Red Crescent Society has detailed the harrowing account of one of its paramedics, who told the organisation he heard Israeli troops shoot first responders while they were still clinging to life.

Asaad al-Nasasra, 47, was one of two first responders to survive the 23 March attack on a convoy of emergency vehicles in which 15 other medics and rescue workers were killed.
