Red Cross denounces Israeli attacks on al-Amal Hospital

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) has released a statement saying it is “appalled” by the ongoing Israeli shelling of al-Amal Hospital and the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) headquarters in Khan Younis.

“These strikes have led to the loss of innocent civilian lives, including a five-day-old infant, and displaced thousands who were taking shelter at the hospital,” the statement said.

At least four members of the PRCS emergency medical services have been killed, and 27 others wounded, the IFRC said.
