Israel killed 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers one by one, says UN
Ehk siis, 15 parameedikut ja tuletõrjujat tapeti Iisraeli kaitsejõudude poolt. Vähemalt üks tapeti pärast vangivõtmist, kuna surunukeha oli käeraudades. Autod purustati põhjalikult ja maeti maha. Surnukehad maeti paar meetrit autodest eemale. Ligipääsu piirkonnale püüti takistada.According to the UN humanitarian affairs office (Ocha), the Palestinian Red Crescent (PRCS) and civil defence workers were on a mission to rescue colleagues who had been shot at earlier in the day, when their clearly marked vehicles came under heavy Israeli fire in Rafah city’s Tel al-Sultan district. A Red Crescent official in Gaza said that there was evidence of at least one person being detained and killed, as the body of one of the dead had been found with his hands tied.
The shootings happened on 23 March, one day into the renewed Israeli offensive in the area close to the Egyptian border. Another Red Crescent worker on the mission is reported missing.
“Seven days ago, civil defence and PRCS ambulances arrived at the scene,” the head of Ocha in Palestine, Jonathan Whittall, said in a video statement. “One by one, [the paramedics and civil defense workers] were hit, they were struck. Their bodies were gathered and buried in this mass grave.
“We’re digging them out in their uniforms, with their gloves on. They were here to save lives. Instead, they ended up in a mass grave,” Whittall said. “These ambulances have been buried in the sand. There’s a UN vehicle here, buried in the sand. A bulldozer – Israeli forces bulldozer – has buried them.”
Üks isik on jätkuvalt kadunud.
Teises artiklis kirjeldab ÜRO töötaja, mida nad veel seal kandis nägid.
Ehk siis täiendavalt nähti põgenevate tsiviilisikute tapmist. Ja isikute tapmist, kes üritasid tapetud isikute surnukehasid ära tuua.The UN teams “encountered hundreds of civilians fleeing under gunfire” and “witnessed a woman shot in the back of the head”, he added.
“When a young man tried to retrieve her, he too was shot. We were able to recover her body using our UN vehicle,” he said.
