Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Palestinian Red Crescent Calls for Independent Probe into Killing of 15 Paramedics

HeadlineApr 08, 2025

The Palestine Red Crescent Society is demanding an independent investigation into the killing of 15 Palestinian medics and rescue workers in Gaza by Israel’s military on March 23. Victims of the attack near Rafah were discovered buried in a mass grave with their vehicles buried nearby. A Red Crescent spokesperson called the attack a “full-fledged war crime.”

Nebal Farsakh: “We need justice for the victims, and we need to ensure that all of those who are responsible are held to account. Without this, the crimes will continue to happen. Without this, the systematic targeting for humanitarians, aid workers and medics will continue to happen.”
