United Nations officials said the bodies of eight Red Crescent medics and other Palestinian rescue workers who came under fire more than a week ago have been recovered from a grave in the sand in the south of the Gaza Strip.

In a statement late on Sunday, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said it was "appalled" at the deaths. The PRCS said it also recovered the bodies of six civil defence members and one U.

Tommaso Della Longa, Spokesperson and Manager of the Media Unit at International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies spoke to CGTN Europe, expressing shock over the deaths of Red Crescent workers in Gaza.
