AI Summary:
The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has called for an independent inquiry into the “deliberate killing” of 15 medical and humanitarian workers in an attack by Israeli forces in Gaza. The group said the March 23 attack in Gaza’s southern city of Rafah “constitutes a full-fledged war crime” and it reflects a dangerous pattern of repeated violation of international humanitarian law. Al-Khatib also called on the international community to safeguard aid workers. He also requested that Israel disclose the whereabouts of the PRCS staff. The PRCS lost eight of its workers in the attack. Israeli military had claimed its soldiers “did not randomly attack” any ambulances. But al-Khatib refuted this claim, saying the ambulances had emergency lights on. The PRCS said the area was not classified as a “red zone” at the time of the emergency response, which means no prior coordination was required to access the site.
