LONDON: The Palestinian Red Crescent Society on Thursday said that several of its staff members had been missing for almost five days in the southern Gaza Strip during the Israeli onslaught.
The Red Crescent urged the international community to intervene and allow rescue crews access to the Tel Sultan area in the city of Rafah to determine the fate of the missing paramedics.
It expressed concern for the safety of its nine staff members in Rafah over the past five days and held the Israeli authorities fully responsible for their fate.
Israel resumed its military campaign in the Gaza Strip last week after the collapse of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas. In the past 24 hours, at least 25 Palestinians were killed and 82 injured in the coastal enclave as the Israeli attacks continued, the WAFA agency reported.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health has reported 50,208 fatalities and 113,910 injuries since late 2023, with the majority of victims being women and children, according to WAFA.
