Does anyone have any insight on the statement by the IFRC that Israel's murder attack “represents the single most deadly attack on Red Cross Red Crescent workers anywhere in the world since 2017”? The top search results on attacks on Red Cross Red Crescent workers in 2017 are about attacks in Afghanistan and CAR that each killed 6, so fewer than in Gaza, where 8 of the victims were Red Cross Red Crescent?

EDIT:
It's probably a reference to the attack in CAR after all. The report I first found mentooned six killed, but the Aid Worker Security Database lists ten.

“I raised my children to love goodness and to do good deeds,” Sobhi said. “We had a principle in our home: do good without expecting thanks or praise. Mohammad [Bahloul] lived by this principle.
“We never expected this to happen – not even in our worst nightmares,” Sobhi added. “They went to save lives, only to become victims themselves.”

The #Gaza paramedic killings: a visual timeline
23 March
At 4.20am, a Red Crescent ambulance on its way to collect people injured by an airstrike in #Rafah comes under Israeli fire in Hashashin. Two paramedics are killed.
A survivor, Munther Abed, is detained and interrogated. A few hours later, a convoy including ambulances, a fire truck, health ministry vehicles and a #UN car is dispatched to recover the bodies of the two paramedics. It also comes under fire. Two #health ministry vehicles drive away but contact is lost with the rest of the convoy. Two ambulances sent from Rafah also disappear.
30 March
Ocha officials and Red Crescent workers return to the site and find the bodies of eight #RedCrescent workers, the five other civil defence responders and one UN staff member buried in a mass grave. A ninth Red Crescent worker remains unaccounted for.

The footage, which was retrieved from a phone belonging to one of the medics who was killed, shows the Israeli army attacking clearly marked #RedCrescent ambulances that had their emergency signal lights on, and emergency medical workers wearing reflective vests."

New York Times: *Video Shows Aid Workers Killed in Gaza Under Gunfire Barrage, With Ambulance Lights On*
"The U.N. has said Israel killed the workers. The video appears to contradict Israel’s version of events, which said the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” without headlights or emergency signals."

"A video, discovered on the cellphone of a paramedic who was found along with 14 other aid workers in a mass grave in Gaza in late March, shows that the ambulances and fire truck that they were traveling in were clearly marked and had their emergency signal lights on when Israeli troops hit them with a barrage of gunfire.
Officials from the Palestine Red Crescent Society said in a news conference on Friday at the United Nations moderated by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies that they had presented the nearly seven-minute recording, which was obtained by The New York Times, to the U.N.

This is the video from one of the Red Crescent vehicles, showing the last moments before being hit by the IOF's fire.
Medical staff was deliberately targeted, killed execution style, one with more than 20 bullets in his body.
IOF then crushed and buried the vehicles together with the 15 paramedics they had just slaughtered.

"On March 30, the bodies of over a dozen Palestinian first responders were found in a mass grave in the southern city of Rafah. In a war already defined as one of the deadliest attacks on journalists and aid workers in history, the massacre sent shockwaves across Gaza. Rescue crews discovered the bodies of 13 Palestinian paramedics—eight from the Red Crescent and five from the Palestinian Civil Defense, tasked with protecting and assisting civilians—along with one United Nations staffer. The body of one Civil Defense worker had been discovered three days earlier, bringing the total number of emergency and aid workers killed to 15. One of the Red Crescent’s paramedics, Asaad Al-Nasasra, is still missing.

Continued thread
At this point I'm starting to believe the primary purpose of the sham ceasefire in Gaza, broken by Israel to continue a US-backed genocide of Palestinian people, was to allow US corporate media to catch its breath and reset to a position of trying very hard to ignore blatant war crimes against clearly innocent Palestinians. A United Nations investigation has revealed that the IDF executed 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers, including a UN employee, in March 23rd; then tried to bury the evidence, including crushed ambulances, to hide this crime against humanity. Details of the murders make it clear that this activity was deliberate, and yet the portions of the mainstream western media that remain firmly pro-genocide have hardly registered any sort of outcry or calls for action.
Israel killed 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers one by one, says UN
“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.”
Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the UN relief agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, said that one of its employees was among the dead found in Rafah."
As an American, please let me once again remind you that none of these atrocities would be happening without US financial, material, and diplomatic support. We're subsidizing the Israeli government, we're shipping the IDF the bombs and weapons being used to exterminate Palestinians in Gaza, and it is by US diplomatic force that Western support for Israel even as it commits a genocide, remains strong, if somewhat less overt than it was at the start of this genocide. Trump (and Biden before him) could end this inhuman slaughter today if he wanted to; he just doesn't want to because killing brown people and taking their resources (beachfront property and natural gas, in this case) is a important business activity for the entire Pig Empire.
In an environment where the media is actively cultivating a numb complicity, and western states are either ignoring the massacres, or as in the Trump regime's case, openly celebrating them, it behooves all of us in the so-called West to reject these attempts to rewind time and protect the genocide. In the months leading up to the ceasefire, Western political leaders and media were on the backfoot as independent media, folks with Tik Tok accounts, protestors, and even everyday people refused to accept the complicity of silence and demanded action. This "reset" must not be allowed to continue while Palestinians in Gaza are murdered with impunity and the complicity of the larger Pig Empire; as noted by Ahmed Moor writing in the Guardian - which is sadly where I have to get my mainstream news about a US-enabled and supported genocide the Trump administration is happily paying for, because US media outlets are still trying to pretend none of this is real:

Israel executes unarmed Red Crescent paramedics with the west’s blessing
"Nor will global leaders intervene to end the mass murder which has been punctuated by this latest obscenity. Some of them – such as Emmanuel Macron, who called for a ceasefire, might appear to want to end the slaughter. After all, dead babies in incubators and paramedics in a mass grave are unpleasant garlands to wear. But 18 months in, they are too deeply implicated. Who can forget Ursula von der Leyen’s embrace of Netanyahu? Or Keir Starmer’s affirmation of Israel’s “right” to starve Palestinians in Gaza?
Today, those who are tasked with upholding international law have been co-opted by the Israeli leadership, whether they like it or not. The logic of gangland drug dealers and criminals – new members commit crimes to join, and are locked in – prevails.
So far from being complicit, US and European leaders are the authors of this latest atrocity by their Israeli colleagues in Gaza."

mille morti in due settimane. nella striscia di gaza, israele bombarda, sfolla, e prende di mira gli operatori sanitari
Martina Stefanoni
da Radio Popolare
In nemmeno due settimane di ripresa dei bombardamenti israeliani sulla striscia di Gaza, sono state uccise mille persone. I bombardamenti sono stati costanti e inarrestabili, proseguiti anche durante l’Eid al-Fitr, la festa per la fine del mese del Ramadan, una delle feste più importante e sentite per il mondo islamico.
Oggi, l’esercito israeliano va oltre, ordinando l’evacuazione della città di Rafah, nel sud della striscia di Gaza. Decine di migliaia di persone, per l’ennesima volta, hanno raccolto il poco che avevano, e a piedi o a bordo di mezzi di fortuna, hanno lasciato Rafah. Una città che durante i mesi di guerra è stata completamente rasa al suolo. Alla popolazione che durante il cessate il fuoco aveva provato a ristabilirsi lì, o che si trovavano lì nella speranza di passare il confine con l’Egitto nelle rare evacuazioni concesse, è stato ordinato di spostarsi ad Al Mawasi, una zona costiera che già era stata identificata come “zona umanitaria” dall’esercito israeliano, ma che è stata più e più volte bombardata. Al Mawasi è anche la zona dove secondo il piano israeliano per la rioccupazione di Gaza che era stato rivelato dal Financial Times negli scorsi giorni sarebbero stati confinati tutti i 2 milioni di Gazawi, prima di procedere all’espulsione.
In questi giorni di ripresa dei bombardamenti, le ong e le agenzie onu presenti nella striscia, hanno descritto una situazione umanitaria spaventosa, aggravata dal fatto che da un mese nella striscia non entra più niente: cibo, carburante, acqua, medicinali. Gli ospedali – ha detto l’Onu – sono tornati ad essere un campo di battaglia. Oggi Jonathan Whittall, il capo dell’agenzia Onu Ocha in Palestina, è tornato a parlare dei quindici paramedici palestinesi uccisi da israele. I quindici operatori sanitari sono stati uccisi una settimana fa, ma solo in questi giorni sono stati recuperati i corpi. Secondo l’ufficio per gli affari umanitari delle Nazioni Unite la Mezzaluna Rossa Palestinese e gli operatori della protezione civile erano in missione per salvare i colleghi che erano stati colpiti in precedenza nel corso della giornata, quando i loro veicoli chiaramente contrassegnati come sanitari sono finiti sotto il pesante fuoco israeliano.
Whittall, ha detto che i paramedici sono stati colpiti e uccisi uno per uno e i loro corpi sepolti in questa fossa comune.
“Li stiamo tirando fuori con le loro uniformi, con i guanti. Erano qui per salvare vite. Invece, sono finiti in una fossa comune”, ha detto Whittall. “Queste ambulanze sono state sepolte nella sabbia”. L’esercito ha ammesso di aver colpito le ambulanze perché – hanno fatto sapere – si muovevano in modo sospetto.
Secondo le Nazioni Unite, almeno 1.060 operatori sanitari sono stati uccisi nei diciotto mesi trascorsi da quando israele ha lanciato la sua offensiva a Gaza.
