The Red Cross has condemned the killing of eight Palestinian medics in southern Gaza, calling it a “heartbreaking” violation of international humanitarian law, after their bodies were recovered following a week-long delay.
The medics were part of a nine-person ambulance crew from the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and were killed on duty in the al-Hashashin area of Rafah on 23 March. Their bodies were retrieved on Sunday after days of restricted access to the area. One crew member remains missing.
