We mourn the killing of another Palestine Red Crescent colleague in Gaza. This brings the total number of PRCS staff and volunteers killed during the conflict to 50 - both on and off duty.

We reiterate our calls: Civilians & humanitarians must be protected.

There are no excuses.

The international community cannot continue to look away as the rules of war are ignored, and humanitarian workers are deliberately targeted. Every attack on a humanitarian is an attack on the community they served, and a betrayal to the laws designed to protect civilians and alleviate suffering in conflict.

The deaths of humanitarians demand more than outrage: they demand action.

In Gaza, the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate. The latest interruption to power supplies exacerbates an already difficult environment for civilians.

Despite all, Palestine Red Crescent teams are on the ground providing critical aid.
