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.

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.
