“I heard the voice of one of those team members who was killed. And his phone was found with this body. And he recorded the whole event. His last words, before being shot. Forgive me, Mom. I just wanted to help people. I wanted to save lives. And then he was killed.”
#WarCrimes of #Israel in #Gaza: killing #paramedics on a rescue mission.
»“The door opened, and there they were – Israeli special forces in military uniforms, armed with rifles, green lasers and night-vision goggles,” Abed told the Guardian. “They dragged me out of the #ambulance, keeping me face down to avoid seeing what had happened to my colleagues.”
He was beaten, detained with his hands tied and made to lie on the ground, from where he was able to see some of what happened as other friends and colleagues arrived on the scene in ambulances and fire trucks, each one running into a hail of #gunfire. In all, eight Red Crescent ambulance crew members and paramedics, six civil defence rescue workers and a UN employee were killed. Their bodies were found alongside their crushed vehicles last weekend in a sandy pit that Abed watched the troops dig. Other witnesses have told the Guardian that some of the dead had had their hands or feet tied.«
Even representatives of the UN bodies like OCHA look and talk like robots. The world knows, that it's a violation of international law and international humanitarian law, but it's not possible for officials to not just express concerns but to demand actions. Their indifference comes across like it's an "ordinary war situation", when it's an overt #genocide.
I have a problem w/this demeanor.
