Good news: Francesca Albanese's mandate as Special Rapporteur for the Palestinian Territories (on the United Nations Human Rights Council) was automatically renewed (tacitly as they say, for three years); there was no vote.

The #Gaza paramedic killings: a visual timeline
23 March
At 4.20am, a Red Crescent ambulance on its way to collect people injured by an airstrike in #Rafah comes under Israeli fire in Hashashin. Two paramedics are killed.
A survivor, Munther Abed, is detained and interrogated. A few hours later, a convoy including ambulances, a fire truck, health ministry vehicles and a #UN car is dispatched to recover the bodies of the two paramedics. It also comes under fire. Two #health ministry vehicles drive away but contact is lost with the rest of the convoy. Two ambulances sent from Rafah also disappear.
30 March
Ocha officials and Red Crescent workers return to the site and find the bodies of eight #RedCrescent workers, the five other civil defence responders and one UN staff member buried in a mass grave. A ninth Red Crescent worker remains unaccounted for.

The Telegraph | The spokesman said: “This video unequivocally refutes the occupation’s claims that #Israel forces did not randomly target ambulances, and that some vehicles had approached ‘suspiciously without lights or emergency markings’.”
Their bodies were found in a “mass grave” following the incident, according to Jonathan Whittall, head of the #UN office for the co-ordination of humanitarian affairs.
Israel attacked ambulance crews and fire fighters and buried the vehicles and bodies
#Ambulances and fire trucks from the #RedCrescent and civil defence teams had coordinated with the #IDF, OCHA (a #UN humanitarian agency), and the #RedCross several days ago. The IDF must have known their whereabouts, just like they did with the World Central Kitchen workers, and they killed them anyway.

UN News | Last Sunday, a joint PRCS and UN humanitarian coordination office (OCHA) mission uncovered a shallow grave in Rafah. The bodies of eight PRCS paramedics, six civil defence workers, and one #UN staff member were found.
“Forgive me, mom. I just wanted to help people. I wanted to save lives,” he said, moments before he was killed. His phone was discovered with his body.
Frank Barat and Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan discuss the #genocide in #gaza, focusing on Tanya's personal experiences and observations from her recent visits. They explore the impact of violence on #healthcare workers, the media's portrayal of atrocities, and the need for a radical change in advocacy efforts.

Report: UN backs Francesca Albanese’s reappointment
"The United Nations Human Rights Council has voted to extend Francesca Albanese’s mandate as Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories for another three years."
The decision comes in spite of a coordinated campaign to remove her from her post, particularly by the US.

Report: "US Moves to Block Francesca Albanese's Reappointment, Citing Antisemitism Allegations"
Albanese's position as UN Special Rapporteur is due for renewal this week, & the US has written to Secretary General Antonio Guterres to demand non-renewal.
"We condemn her virulent antisemitism, which demonizes Israel & supports Hamas. She has clearly violated the UN’s code of conduct & is unfit for her role."
Blaulichter waren an, Sanitäter trugen reflektierende Kleidung: #Israel hat 15 Sanitäter dennoch gezielt ermordet und über dieses #Kriegsverbrechen gelogen, wie das nun von der #NYT veröffentlichte Video beweist.
„Ein #Video, das auf dem Handy eines Sanitäters entdeckt wurde, der zusammen mit 14 anderen Helfern in einem Massengrab in #Gaza Ende März gefunden wurde, zeigt, dass die #Krankenwagen und das Feuerwehrauto, in denen sie unterwegs waren, deutlich gekennzeichnet waren und ihre Blaulichter eingeschaltet hatten, als israelische Truppen sie unter Beschuss nahmen.
Vertreter der Palästinensischen Roten Halbmonds sagten am Freitag auf einer Pressekonferenz bei den Vereinten Nationen, die von der Internationalen Föderation der Rotkreuz- und Rothalbmond-Gesellschaften moderiert wurde, dass sie die fast siebenminütige Aufnahme, die der New York Times vorliegt, dem #UN-#Sicherheitsrat vorgelegt hätten.“
Das Video wurde auch vom Guardian veröffentlicht:

Lamentable. Les USA, mais aussi la France et l'Allemagne s'opposent au renouvellement du mandat de Francesca Albanese.
