UN Human Rights Office expresses shock, outrage over continued killings of emergency workers in Gaza

RAMALLAH, August 3, 2025 (WAFA) - The UN Human Rights Office in the occupied Palestinian Territory expressed deep shock and outrage over the continued killings of emergency workers in Gaza.

In a post on X, the UN Human Rights Office said: “On 3 August, the Israeli military struck a Palestinian Red Crescent Society facility, killing one and injuring at least 3 other staff.”

It added: “To date, at least 49 PRCS and 136 Civil Defense members have been killed. These workers continue to engage in life-saving efforts, putting their own lives at risk.”

“There must be an independent investigation into all killings of civilians. Deliberate killings of humanitarian workers may amount to war crimes.”
