Red Cross Expresses Grave Concern Over Missing Medics in Gaza Amidst Israeli Acknowledgment of Firing on Ambulances
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has expressed grave concern over the disappearance of nine medics in Gaza, following reports of Israeli forces firing on ambulances in the region. The incidents, confirmed by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), have sparked international outcry and raised questions about the safety of humanitarian workers in conflict zones.
According to the IDF, the firing on ambulances in Rafah was a mistake, as troops were targeting vehicles believed to be operated by Hamas. However, the Palestinian side reported that the ambulances were clearly marked and were part of a rescue operation. The missing medics were part of this operation, and their whereabouts remain unknown, intensifying the urgency of the situation.
The ICRC has called for the immediate release of any detained medical personnel and for all parties to respect the neutrality of medical services. The incident has also led to the reported deaths of several aid workers in the area, further complicating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
