The 50th medic from the Palestine Red Crescent has been killed in Gaza since the start of the war, the PRCS says in a statement.

Haitham Bassam Abu Issa, a nurse at the PRCS clinic in Deir al-Balah in the center of the Gaza strip, was killed while off duty on Thursday, the PRCS says.

“This brings the total number of PRCS staff and volunteers killed during the conflict to 50 – a deeply shocking figure,” the PRCS says.
