Red Cross outraged over killing of eight medics in Gaza

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.
The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said their staff’s bodies were discovered along with those of six members of Gaza’s Hamas-run civil defence agency and one UN employee.
They did not say who opened fire on the convoy – but Hamas blamed the Israel Defense Forces for the attack. The BBC has sought comment from the IDF.
In Sunday’s statement, the IFRC said the eight bodies of PRCS workers were retrieved “after seven days of silence and having access denied to the area of Rafah where they were last seen”.
