Red Crescent staff killed in Israeli attack on Gaza headquarters as aid crisis deepens
Israeli forces targeted the building in Khan Younis, igniting a fire on the first floor, the aid organisation said
“One Palestine Red Crescent Society staff member was killed and three others injured after Israeli forces targeted the Society’s headquarters in Khan Younis, igniting a fire on the building’s first floor,” the aid organisation said in a social media post.
A video, which it said “captures the initial moments” of the attack, shows fires burning in a building, with the floors covered in rubble.
Eight staff members from the Red Crescent, six from the Gaza civil defence agency and one employee of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees were killed in an attack by Israeli forces in southern Gaza in March, according to the UN humanitarian office OCHA.
