Awwad described Najjar’s killing as a war crime and a blatant violation of international treaties and agreements which protect paramedics and medical staff at times of conflict.
Najjar, 21, a volunteering paramedic, was shot in the chest and killed by Israeli snipers while she was providing first aid to the wounded at the border fence east of Khan Younes, in southern Gaza Strip.
