The Red Crescent Society said on Tuesday that the fate of nine of its ambulance crews remains unknown for the third consecutive day after they were besieged and targeted by Israeli occupation forces in the city of Rafah.

She added, "Despite ongoing efforts by international organizations, the occupation authorities continue to reject all coordination efforts aimed at allowing rescue teams to reach the site and ensure the safety of the detained crews."

It expressed deep concern for the safety of its crew members, holding the Israeli occupation authorities fully responsible for their lives.

The Red Crescent Society called on the international community and humanitarian organizations to take urgent action and pressure the occupation to ensure their protection and immediate release, in accordance with international humanitarian law, which guarantees the protection of medical and relief teams while carrying out their duties.
