Red Cross says Gaza facility damaged by explosive yesterday
The Red Cross says one of its premises in Gaza was damaged by an explosive on April 16, saying it is the second incident in three weeks.
The statement does not blame either Israel, Hamas, or other terror groups for the incident. It notes the last incident was on March 24, when another facility was struck by a tank shell.
The Red Cross stresses the need to “respect and protect humanitarian workers and objects used for humanitarian relief operations.”
It says such incidents impact the ability of the organization to provide crucial assistance in the Strip.
The ICRC is outraged that on 16 April an ICRC premises in Gaza was struck and damaged by an explosive.
