The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories has expressed deep concern over the rising violence directed at emergency workers in Gaza. This weekend, the Israeli army launched an attack that resulted in the death of a member of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society and left at least three people injured.
The agency notes that, to date, a total of 49 workers from the Red Crescent Society and 136 members of the Civil Defense have lost their lives while performing rescue operations. The situation has prompted a call for an independent investigation into these incidents, considering that they could constitute war crimes.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization, described the attack as “horrific.” Ghebreyesus extended his condolences to the family of the deceased worker and called for an immediate ceasefire in the region, as well as an end to the assaults on healthcare professionals.
In another context, Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), criticized the restrictions imposed by Israel that limit the ability of UN officials to return to Gaza. Lazzarini emphasized the systematic repression of those who denounce the atrocities in the region and mentioned Israel’s recent refusal to renew the visa of Jonathan Witthall, head of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
Lazzarini also highlighted that access for international media has been restricted for over 660 days, with more than 220 Palestinian journalists killed during this period. The Commissioner reiterated the UN’s obligation to highlight violations of international humanitarian law and emphasized that the situation in Gaza is not exempt from this commitment.
