Medical paramedics killed in Gaza: a loss for humanity!

Chan Yunis, Gaza, Palästina - On Wednesday evening, a voluntary paramedic of the Palestinian Red Heading Moon in Chan Yunis was killed tragically. He had previously taken a patient to a hospital when he was committed to a hospital when he was committed to his humanitarian service. Gerald Schöpfer, the President of the Austrian Red Cross, was deeply dismayed by this incident and emphasized: "On people who save lives must not be shot!". This was done in a day when the world celebrates the volunteers: the inside celebrates that save lives in crisis situations. According to his words, the sincere condolences apply to all those who have lost this loved one.

Since the beginning of the conflict in Gaza, 28 employees have now been killed: inside the Red Cross and Red Mountain Movement, including 22 from the Palestinian Red Heading Moon and six by the Israeli Red Cross Society Stomach Stomach David ADOM. Creator has strongly reminded that humanitarian international law protects humanitarian helpers: inside, medical personnel and health facilities and must never be the goal of attacks. If this is not observed, millions of people could lose help they urgently need. For this reason, the Austrian Red Cross calls for compliance with these fundamental standards and has launched a petition in order to draw attention to this grievance. Signatures can be collected on the website of the Red Cross.

The values of the red cross movement

The fondation of the international red cross and red moon movement is based on seven basic principles: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntariness, unity and universality. These principles are crucial for their humanitarian role in conflicts, natural disasters and other emergencies. According to the International Committee from the Red Cross (IKRK), the movement aims to prevent and relieve human suffering without distinguishing between nationality, race or faith. Another principle is neutrality that ensures that the movement maintains the trust of all parties to the conflict and does not interfere in political or ideological disputes. These principles are essential to ensure the protection and respect of all people in crisis situations, as well as ikrc.ch emphasized.
