The mangled bodies of the 15 medics, along with their vehicles, were found buried in a mass grave that was bulldozed over by Israeli military bulldozers.
The dead included eight Red Crescent workers, six members of Gaza’s Civil Defense emergency unit and a staffer from UNRWA, the U.N.’s agency for Palestinians. The International Red Cross/Red Crescent said it was the deadliest attack on its personnel in eight years. Since the war in Gaza began 18 months ago, Israel has killed more than 100 Civil Defense workers and more than 1,000 health workers, according to the U.N.
The emergency team has been missing since March 23, and have now been found, after they’ve been executed by the Israeli military, and their bodies hidden with the help of the military. The investigation so far has shown that they were all killed on the day they went missing, a week ago.
I’m not leaving any personal comments because I’m too pissed to do so intelligently. I’ll leave it to each of you to dig deep inside yourselves and decide whether killing doctors and nurses, then hiding them in mass graves, is something a government should be doing. Any government.
For days, Israeli forces would not allow access to the site where the emergency teams disappeared, the U.N. said. On Wednesday, a U.N. convoy tried to reach the site but encountered Israeli troops opening fire on people. The convoy saw a woman who had been shot lying in the road. The dashboard video shows staff talking about retrieving the woman. Then two people are seen walking across the road. Gunfire rings out and they flee. One stumbles, apparently wounded, before he is shot and falls onto his face to the ground. The U.N. said the team retrieved the body of the woman and left.
