They were killed and buried alongside six civil defense medics from Gaza and one UN staff member.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1692\" data-end=\"2613\">She added:\u201cIn April 2024, I was part of an emergency medical team providing care in Gaza. At the request of the World Health Organization, our team worked with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society at a trauma stabilization point. What an honor!

Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom was among them\u2014her death anniversary passed quietly just a few days ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3122\" data-end=\"3840\">Nelson wrote:\u201cFor me, humanitarian medical work means contributing to health care for those in the greatest need, and also bearing witness to their suffering, however the moment demands. I write now not to bear witness to the suffering of the Red Crescent medical staff\u2014you can read about that yourself. In fact, if you have not seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/03\/30\/exclusive-satellite-images-show-israel-destroyed-and-buried-gaza-rescue-vehicles\/\">Israel<\/a>\u2019s blatant violence against healthcare workers and civilians in Gaza and the West Bank, then you are blind. Nor am I writing just to bear witness to these men\u2019s incredible character\u2014their love, kindness, gentleness, and goodness.

Erasure requires this kind of forgetting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3122\" data-end=\"3840\">She added:\u201cI saw Palestinian Red Crescent workers giving their all, working hard and effectively. I sat with them among the patients, listened to their emotional conversations, and admired their morale. In more private and candid moments, they explained: what choice did they have? They needed to hold on to enough hope each day to stand up and keep going. They were exhausted and afraid, but they carried on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4261\" data-end=\"4558\">She continued:\u201cWe shared meals together in a war zone, and despite the austerity brought on by Israel\u2019s systematic blockade of supplies into Gaza, our Red Crescent colleagues fed us daily from their kitchens. It seemed that the Red Crescent workers gave from an endless well of generosity.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15206\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15206\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15206 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/455.jpg\" alt=\"Israeli Forces Accused of Executing Palestinian Rescue Team in Rafah\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/455.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/455-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/455-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15206\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Palestinian Civil Defense reports 14 medics and rescue workers were executed after responding to humanitarian calls<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"83\" data-end=\"101\">Grief Beyond Words<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4560\" data-end=\"5270\">Nelson noted that many in the medical and humanitarian fields today are overwhelmed with grief, anger, and anxiety about the prospect of working in future war zones. She wrote:\u201cExperienced humanitarian workers know that the deaths of our colleagues are not collateral damage caused by the routine of war. Maybe war was murky in the 19th century, but I assure you it is not in the 21st. Israel has proven its exceptional capacity for precision targeting. None of us have the luxury to wait for delayed actions by the International Criminal Court or the International Court of Justice to confirm what we see with our own eyes. States must recognize Israel\u2019s violations of the laws of war\u2014and act on them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"5272\" data-end=\"5844\">She concluded with the words of a former colleague from the International Committee of the Red Cross, who wrote on Instagram:\u201cGrief has lost its meaning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"5272\" data-end=\"5844\">She added:\u201cWe are all at a loss for words. Another friend wrote to me: \u2018It\u2019s a huge challenge to honor their lives properly.\u2019 As I struggle to write, yanking words out like teeth without anesthesia, I feel my friends\u2019 words in my body and soul. I cannot rise to this challenge. Nothing I say can adequately honor the men of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society.
