We dug up medics in Gaza. A year later, international law remains buried
AI Summary
In March 2025, Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and Civil Defence first responders went missing in southern Gaza. After a week of denied access by Israeli forces, their bodies were found in a mass grave in Rafah, along with crushed ambulances. The medics were identifiable by their uniforms and the Red Crescent symbols on their vehicles. Forensic analysis suggests some were executed at close range. The Israeli army dismissed one commander and reprimanded another for filing an incomplete report, but no one was charged in connection with the deaths. This incident follows previous targeting of PRCS medics, including during the attempted rescue of Hind Rajab. The author argues that Israel has created an environment of impunity for attacks on healthcare.
