Rafah, January 11 (RHC)-- An Israeli airstrike hit an ambulance in central Gaza Wednesday, killing two patients and four members of the Palestine Red Crescent Society.  The aid group said: “Our colleagues were intentionally targeted while inside an ambulance clearly marked with the Red Crescent emblem.” 

Another Israeli attack near the entrance to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital killed eight people and wounded over 30.

On Wednesday, the head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom, called on Israel to allow more aid into Gaza.  “Delivering humanitarian aid in Gaza continues to face nearly insurmountable challenges.  Intense bombardment, restrictions on movement, fuel shortage and interrupted communications make it impossible for WHO and our partners to reach those in need.  We have the supplies, the teams and the plans in place.  What we don’t have is access.”
