Israeli occupation opens fire at ambulance with pregnant woman
Palestine-Israel, Politics, 5/27/2006
Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) called Saturday for providing an immediate protection to Palestinian paramedics working in the Palestinian territories.
In a statement to WAFA, Director of Emergency Unit in PRCS, Dr. Wael Qa'dan pointed out that Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) has deliberately opened fire at an ambulance transferring a pregnant, adding that such act is a flagrant violation to International Humanitarian Law.
He called on international community and HR organisations to immediately intervene and compel Israel to stop its aggressive policies against paramedics.
Early in the morning, the IOF opened random fire at an ambulance transferring a pregnant to a hospital in Nablus city.
added that the ambulance driver, Toni Ghetit said that five Israeli jeeps surrounded the ambulance at Amman street in Nablus city, while he was in his way to hospital transporting Najah Sadiq, who was in a state of giving birth. They randomly opened fire. "They forced us, under gunpoint, to get out, without showing sympathy to her parturition."
He added that the IOF released them, "but she arrived in hospital in critical condition. Only God's will saved her and the fetus."
In the meantime, Ministry of Health (MOH) denounced the Israeli assault in Nablus. It called upon international HQ Organisations to condemn such an Israeli act and to provide protection to Palestinian paramedics.
