„The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) has said it is "outraged" at the deaths of eight medics killed on duty in Rafah in southern Gaza.

The nine-person ambulance team came under heavy fire in al-Hashashin on 23 March, said the IFRC. Their bodies were retrieved on Sunday after access was denied for a week. One medic is still missing.“

Joint Statement…#IFRC &…#ICRC... “Nothing can justify the horrific loss of civilian lives in #Israel last weekend. Our hearts go out to people who lost family members or are anxiously awaiting news about their missing loved ones, which they should receive without delay. But such tragedy cannot in turn justify…limitless destruction of #Gaza.
We are deeply alarmed by the call for relocation in Gaza… Civilian life must be protected on all sides.“ See full statement: icrc.org/en/document/joint-sta #IHL
