UN Condemns Israeli Forces for Killing 15 Medics in Gaza Mass Grave

The United Nations has called for accountability following the deaths of 15 rescue workers, including eight medics from the Palestine Red Crescent, six Civil Defense personnel, and one UN staff member, who were killed by Israeli forces on March 23 in southern Gaza. Their bodies were found in a mass grave near their damaged ambulances, which were clearly marked as humanitarian vehicles. Eyewitness accounts and a video retrieved from a deceased EMT's phone suggest a deliberate attack by Israeli troops on the medical convoy. The Israeli military claims the fire was directed at vehicles perceived as suspicious, allegedly containing militants. This incident has drawn widespread condemnation, with calls for justice from international advocates and organizations. The UN has emphasized the need for answers regarding this alleged war crime, marking it as one of the deadliest attacks on aid workers in recent history.
