The Israeli branch of US NGO Physicians for Human Rights has said Israel is “responsible for targeting and obstructing medical teams in Gaza” and demanded accountability, a day after the body of a paramedic was recovered from Rafah, Al Jazeera reports.

The group said 14 paramedics and civil defence personnel were missing after heading to Rafah’s Tal as-Sultan neighbourhood amid an Israeli siege.

“All were responding to the wounded when last seen,” the physicians’ group said on X.
