🚨 Video That Exposes the Israeli Occupation’s Lies
The Palestine Red Crescent Society has obtained a video from the family of a martyred EMT, found on his mobile phone after his body was recovered from a mass grave in Gaza. He was among 15 ambulance and relief team members ces on March 23.
The footage clearly shows that the ambulances and fire trucks they were using were visibly marked, with flashing emergency lights on at the time they were attacked.
This video unequivocally refutes the occupation’s claims that Israeli forces did not randomly target ambulances, and that some vehicles had approached “suspiciously without lights or emergency markings.”
The footage exposes the truth and dismantles this false narrative.

A tragedy against humanitarian work.
The Red Crescent emblem, meant to protect you, has instead become the shroud that wrapped your bodies.

We are heartbroken. These dedicated humanitarians, killed while responding to the wounded, should have been protected.
We mourn their loss and stand with the Palestine Red Crescent.

We support a convention based on the 2016 Draft Articles on the Protection of Persons in Disasters.
It would fill a legal gap, address challenges for millions impacted by disasters, and save lives.
Read our statement to the UNGA Sixth Committee.

Had a great yarn to Prof John for this story and I'm so pleased to capture this disaster law tale.
Prof Hopkins had a bit of a moment when he walked into a lecture theatre repurposed into a conference room. He looked around the room, filled with academics, practitioners & policymakers from around the 🌏 & it felt special.
