If Hamas "keep(s) shooting at 5.5 million Israelis at the current rate, we will have no choice but to use all necessary and legitimate means to defend our citizens and that includes possible ground action."

On Friday, Physicians for Human Rights-Israel ( PHR-I ) "began receiving worrisome and severe reports regarding the obstruction of the activity of emergency and rescue teams."

Gaza Red Crescent director of emergency and rescue services, Dr. Bashar Murad, said:

"Although there is no direct harm to the emergency services and centers, the proximity to the bombings".causes great harm." 

"Heavy shrapnels sharp edged fragments".hit the center. With no advanced warnings, there is no possibility of evacuation prior to the bombing." 

"The destruction of infrastructure".causes difficulties and delays reaching the wounded. In some cases, the blocked roads".do not allow clear transfer of ambulances."

 

Paramedics have to carry wounded victims and walk. Doing so endangers their lives. Time is crucial. Severe wounds need immediate treatment.

Rescue teams are endangered. Bomb explode near them. Two paramedics were wounded. Some emergency centers and clinics sustained heavy damage.

During Cast Lead, Israel targeted hospitals, ambulances, and medical workers. Apparently it's happening again. World leaders give Israel carte blanche to commit murder with impunity. As NATO members, they have plenty of blood on their own hands.
