“An intolerable gesture.” With these words, Rosario Valastro, president of the Italian Red Cross, defined what happened in Gaza last night: “We learn with sorrow of the death of a colleague from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society and the wounding of three others, due to an attack that hit the PRCS headquarters in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, and which caused a fire on the first floor of the building. Too much blood has been shed by humanitarian workers in this conflict, too much blood has been shed by civilians.” “Attacking buildings or vehicles marked with our emblem, attacking health workers, is contrary to the norms of international humanitarian law and, above all, is a harsh blow to the rights and dignity of the civilian population who, brought to their knees by the conflict, risks not receiving the necessary care, already made difficult by the war,” added Valastro.
