A United Nations report indicates that over 1,060 healthcare workers have lost their lives in conflicts in Gaza in the past 18 months. On March 23, another 15 healthcare workers were attacked in a convoy in the city of Rafah, and their final cries were recorded. A voice memo from one of the fallen healthcare workers mentioned, "Forgive me, Mom, I just wanted to help others." This incident has been deemed the most severe attack on Red Cross and Red Crescent personnel since 2017. While the Israeli military argues that the gunfire targeted terrorists, footage shows that the ambulance had its lights on at the time. The international community is urged to take action to prevent Palestinians from losing ambulance resources in the future.

The United Nations has issued a warning that at least 1,060 healthcare workers have died in the conflict in Gaza over the past 18 months. On March 23, 15 more healthcare workers were killed, and the release of related videos has allowed the outside world to understand the actual situation. "Forgive me, mom, this is the path I chose, to help others. Forgive me, mom, I swear I chose this path just to help others." On March 23, a convoy consisting of ambulances from the Palestinian Red Crescent, UN vehicles, and fire trucks from the Civil Defense forces was attacked in Rafah, southern Gaza, and was not discovered until a week later, when the footage was also released.

The president of the Palestinian Red Crescent stated, "I heard the voice of one of the killed team members; his phone was found with his body, and he recorded the entire incident. Just before he was shot, he said his last words, 'Mom, forgive me. I just want to help others; I want to save lives,' and then he was killed." The 15 bodies that have been recovered have been identified as the most serious attack on Red Cross and Red Crescent personnel since 2017. At that time, these healthcare workers were heading to the site of an Israeli airstrike to provide first aid to the injured.

The Israeli military insists that they fired at "suspicious vehicles" approaching, but the video clearly shows that the ambulance had its lights on and was using warning signals. A spokesperson for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies pointed out, "If this situation continues, in the future, Palestinians will no longer have ambulances to save lives." The United Nations emphasized that at least 1,060 healthcare workers have died in the conflict in Gaza over the past 18 months.

The vice president of the Palestinian Red Crescent stated, "I believe the scale of this crime should prompt the international community to take more action, and it cannot be accepted that this is just another recorded incident, which will be forgotten in a few days."
