Gaza Health Ministry calls killing of medics ‘heinous crime’, demands investigation

Gaza Health Ministry calls killing of medics a ‘heinous crime’ after the Palestine Red Crescent Society said earlier that it recovered the bodies of 15 Gaza civil defence and health workers in total in Rafah.

“Some of these bodies were bound and shot in the chest. They were buried in a deep hole to prevent their identification,” the ministry said.

The ministry called on “UN organisations and relevant international bodies to conduct an urgent investigation into these crimes and hold the occupation accountable for committing them.”
