The Palestinian Red Crescent has expressed outrage and condemnation after the discovery of the lifeless bodies of 6-year-old Hind Rajab and 5 of her relatives, who were tragically trapped in a vehicle targeted by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip 12 days ago. In a written statement, the organization revealed that an ambulance sent to rescue the victims was also bombed.
The statement revealed that the bodies of Yusuf Zeyno and Ahmed Medhun, members of the Red Crescent team, were found in the targeted ambulance in the Tel el-Heva District of Gaza City. According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, the ambulance was deliberately targeted despite prior coordination to allow it to reach the scene. The organization condemned the actions of the Israeli forces, stating that the ambulance was bombed only a few meters away from the location of the hit vehicle.
On February 4, the Palestinian Red Crescent had reported that 6-year-old Hind Receb and the Red Crescent team members had gone missing while attempting to rescue her. The organization had been desperately seeking news of their whereabouts for days.
The tragic discovery of the lifeless bodies of Hind Rajab and her relatives has sparked outrage and grief in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian Red Crescent’s statement has drawn attention to the devastating impact of the ongoing conflict in the region and the humanitarian cost of the violence.
The organization has called for accountability and justice for the victims, urging the international community to take action to prevent further civilian casualties and to ensure the safety and protection of humanitarian workers in conflict zones. The Palestinian Red Crescent’s condemnation of the targeting of the ambulance serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in the region.
