France is distressed by the March 30th discovery of the remains of 15 first responders from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and the Palestinian Civil Defense, who had died during an Israeli military operation a week earlier when they had come to assist the wounded.
The protection of humanitarian workers, who have already paid a heavy price in Gaza, must be guaranteed in all circumstances, in compliance with international law.
France offers its condolences to the families of the victims and to the Palestinian Red Crescent, a partner of the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs that responds to humanitarian emergencies in the Palestinian Territories.
A thorough investigation must be held into the attack on these workers.
