Israeli forces directly hit paramedics, prevented rescue: PRCS

A paramedic with the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) described how the Israeli military targeted and killed two colleagues in Rafah. He said emergency responders found one of their ambulances on fire when they arrived at the scene to help PRCS members Haitham Tubasi and Suhail Hassouna, who were killed.

“My colleague and I attempted to extinguish the fire, but we were heavily targeted by the shooting of the occupation. Given the gravity of the situation, we were forced to withdraw from the area.”

Paramedics eventually managed to recover the charred bodies of their colleagues after several hours.



‘Unrelenting nightmare’: 18,500 pregnant women flee Israeli attacks on Rafah

The United Nations Population Fund says about 18,500 pregnant Palestinian women are among hundreds of thousands of Palestinians forced to flee the expanding Israeli military invasion of Rafah in southern Gaza.

Israeli Knesset vote to label UNRWA a ‘terrorist’ group is ‘outrageous’: MSF

The medical charity denounced Israeli lawmakers after voting for a bill to designate the UN agency for Palestinian refugees as a “terrorist organisation”.

“The Israeli Knesset’s preliminary bill to designate UNRWA as a terrorist organisation is an outrageous attack on humanitarian assistance, and an act of collective punishment against the Palestinian people,” said Christopher Lockyear, secretary general of Doctors Without Borders (MSF) International.

He called the move “the culmination of the continuous, systematic obstruction of vital humanitarian aid, including into the Strip, effectively choking Gaza”.

“Israel’s allies, which are all members of the United Nations, must stand against this move to criminalise humanitarian assistance and ensure that UNRWA can continue its essential work,” Lockyear said.
