Bodies of 15 aid workers recovered from grave in Gaza, UN officials say
ai generated text
Recent events in Gaza have resulted in the deaths and disappearance of a dozen aid workers, with eight of the 14 bodies recovered from a site in southern Rafah area identified as members of the Palestine Red Crescent Society, five as civil defense, and one as a UN agency employee, with one PRCS medic still missing.
They were killed by Israeli forces while trying to save lives. We demand answers & justice.
Health workers should never be a target. And yet, we're here today, digging up a mass grave of first responders and paramedics.
They were killed in their uniforms. Driving their clearly marked vehicles. Wearing their gloves. On their way to save lives.
The IDF is in contact with the organization to verify the details thoroughly.
This is longest that Gaza has been without any supplies since the war began.
The siege must be lifted and crossings must re-open for a standard flow of humanitarian aid and commercial supplies.
No humanitarian aid has entered Gaza for more than three weeks now.
Their bodies were identified today and have been recovered for dignified burial. These staff and volunteers were risking their own lives to provide support to others.
This massacre of our team is a tragedy not only for us at the Palestine Red Crescent Society, but also for humanitarian work and humanity.
Our hearts are heavy today as we mourn the loss of one of our volunteers in Gaza.
