"Amid what the United Nations has described as a “concerted policy to destroy #Gaza’s healthcare system,” the #RedCross and #RedCrescent said it was the single deadliest attack on their workers anywhere in the world since 2017. Gaza’s Civil Defense, likewise, called it “one of the most heinous massacres” they have witnessed. "

Israel killed 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers one by one, says UN theguardian.com/world/2025/mar

Europe keeps turning a blind eye on this #genocide. Time to break ties with Israel, send home their ambassadors and kick them out from #eurovision2025 . Otherwise Europe will be complicit of this appalling atrocity and position on the wrong side of history.

“One by one, they were hit, they were struck, their bodies were gathered and buried,” Whittall said. “We’re digging them out in their uniforms, with their gloves on.”

Ambulances, as well as UN and civil defense vehicles, were found crushed and buried under the sand, Whittall added, accusing Israeli forces of trying to cover up the scene.
