Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, IFRC, has expressed outrage over the deaths of eight Palestine Red Crescent Society, PRCS, medics who were killed while on duty in Rafah, southern Gaza.<\/p>\n

The nine-member ambulance team came under heavy fire in the al-Hashashin area on March 23. Their bodies were recovered on Sunday, March 30, after access was denied for a week. One medic remains missing.<\/p>\n

The PRCS team was responding to an emergency when they came under attack. Their bodies were found alongside those of six Hamas-run civil defense workers and one UN employee.<\/p>\n

Hamas has blamed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for the attack, though no entity has claimed responsibility.<\/p>\n

The IDF has not publicly commented on the specific Red Cross and Red Crescent statement.<\/p>\n

IFRC Secretary General Jagan Chapagain condemned the attack, saying, \u201cI am heartbroken. These dedicated ambulance workers were responding to wounded people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were humanitarians. They wore emblems that should have protected them; their ambulances were clearly marked.\u201d<\/p>\n

He stressed that international humanitarian law requires the protection of civilians, health workers, and humanitarian aid providers in conflict zones.<\/p>\n

The AFP news agency reported that on Saturday, March 29, the Israeli military admitted to firing on ambulances in southern Gaza on March 23.<\/p>\n

According to the IDF statement, troops fired at \u201cHamas vehicles,\u201d killing several Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters.<\/p>\n
