Piles of bodies, blood everywhere": Red Cross leader describes horror of bombing
William Schomburg, regional director of the International Security Council, told reporters that a bomb exploded at the Red Cross compound at around 3:30 pm on Friday. "Many injuries. "
Minor damage to the exterior of the Red Cross office building, the bomb killed 22 people.
It is located in the south of the humanitarian zone defined by the Israeli army in Palestinian territory.
"All three houses are known by conflicting people," said Schomburg.
Refusing to think about the source of the bomb, he said: “We are not here to point fingers. We, as the International Security Council, cannot act like this. However, Mberg said that two workers' children were injured in the explosion and needed treatment. The crosspieces were destroyed first.
"There was blood in the streets around the compound and bodies were strewn on the ground," he said.
“We saw bodies scattered everywhere, including the hotspot where 41 people died.
Gaza's Ministry of Health said on Saturday that at least 37,551 people, mostly civilians, were killed in the Israeli offensive.
The Israel Defense Forces announced on Saturday that an initial investigation revealed "there was no direct attack on the Red Cross site by the Israel Defense Forces."
However, the situation is still being investigated and "the results of the investigation will be presented to our international partners".
Around the Red Cross office there is a camp where several families of ICRC workers live in tents. Schomburg said it was a "miracle" that no one was seriously injured.
But he added that "people are very scared, very desperate and have nowhere to go."
Since the conflict, thousands of displaced Palestinians have been living in tents in the coastal area of Al-Mawasi, which has helped Israeli authorities gain knowledge of the humanitarian area.
"Our offices in Rafah, like all buildings and offices, are marked with the Red Cross emblem and are known to all parties," Schomburg said.
