The Palestinian Red Crescent lost nine employees in the Israeli attack on March 23, calling the killing of one of the “darkest moments” of the war.
New evidence suggests that some of the 15 Palestinian aid workers killed in Rafa last week were shot at close range, which seemed to be an execution killing – the “Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS)” that attacked the war was described as “one of the darkest moments of the war.”
Forensic analyst Ahmad Dhaher personally examined five bodies at Khan Younis’ Nasser Hospital, and he said the evidence showed the gunfire was tight.
“Preliminary analysis shows that since the location of the bullet injury is specific and intentional, it is not performed from a distant range,” Dhaher told The Guardian.
“One observation is that the bullets are targeting one person’s head and the other is their heart, and the third person is shot by six or seven bullets in the torso.”
He warned that the decomposition state makes it difficult to draw a clear conclusion.
Aid staff Missing on March 23 After Rafa was attacked by Israeli troops, in a rescue mission near Taal Surdan in Rafa. The team includes nine Chinese medical staff, six civil defense workers and one UN employee.
According to the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), other first responders repeatedly attacked them within hours after the first rescue team was killed.
A week later, 15 bodies were found Burned in the sand, Ocha described it as a “large grave.” A Chinese worker is still missing.
It is “one of the darkest moments in this conflict, and it shocks our shared humanity at its core”,” PRCS President Younes al-Khatib told the UN Security Council on Thursday.
Al-Khatib also said that Chinese dispatchers heard a conversation in Hebrew between Israeli forces and some aid workers, indicating that at least some people are still alive in Israeli detention.
Israeli troops claimed that nine Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters were inside the ambulance of rescuers, but said an investigation into the incident was being conducted.
“The existence of these terrorists puts everyone’s life at risk,” said Israel’s ambassador Danny Danon to the United Nations.
According to the United Nations, humanitarian workers have been repeatedly targeted during the Gaza War, with 408 killings including 280 UN employees so far.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk said the killings of aid workers have exacerbated “further concerns about war crimes by the Israeli military”.
At a UN Security Council meeting in New York, the Turks called for an “independent, swift and thorough investigation” into their killings.
“There is obviously a growing consensus within the Council that more things must be done to get Israel accountable,” Al Jazeera’s Gabriel Elizondo reported from Gabriel Elizondo of the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
