This came in a post on the X platform, in which he offered his condolences to the families of the workers killed in the attack, wishing a speedy recovery to the injured, and reiterating his call to halt the targeting of medical and humanitarian personnel, demanding an "immediate ceasefire in Gaza."
On Sunday morning, three Palestinians were killed and others injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting a school housing displaced persons and a Red Crescent Society building in Khan Yunis, sparking a fire on the first floor of the building, according to a statement from the organization.
In the same context, the UN Human Rights Office in the occupied Palestinian territory stated that the Israeli occupation army had killed "at least 49 Palestinian Red Crescent personnel and 136 civil defense personnel" since the start of the war 666 days ago, expressing "deep shock and outrage" at the ongoing killing of emergency workers.
The UN office confirmed that the targeting of the Red Crescent facility on August 3 resulted in the death of one employee and the injury of three others, stressing "the need for an independent investigation into all cases of civilian deaths," and considering that "the deliberate killing of humanitarian workers may amount to war crimes."
Since beginning its genocide on October 7, 2023, Israel has been simultaneously committing a starvation crime against the Palestinians of Gaza. On March 2, it tightened its measures by closing all crossings to humanitarian, relief, and medical aid, causing famine to spread and reaching "catastrophic" levels.
The US-backed genocide left more than 210,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 9,000 missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands of displaced persons and a famine that claimed the lives of many.
