Palestinian medic Razan al-Najjar shot by Israeli troops
Thousands of Palestinians, many dressed in white medical uniforms, took part on Saturday in the funeral of a nurse who was shot dead at the Israel-Gaza border. Razan Najjar, 21, a volunteer paramedic, was shot by Israeli troops near Khan Yunis on Friday, prompting outrage in Gaza. Her father held her white, blood-stained medics' jacket as ambulances and medical crews took part in the procession.
The Palestinian Medical Relief Society (PMRC) said three other first responders were hit by Israeli fire on Friday and that Najjar was shot "as she was attempting to provide first aid to an injured protester." "Shooting at medical personnel is a war crime under the Geneva conventions," the PMRC said in a statement. It called for "an immediate international response to Israeli humanitarian law violations in Gaza."
Khuzaa, Gaza Strip: She had become a fixture at the weekly protests along the fence dividing the Gaza Strip from Israel, a young woman in a white paramedic’s uniform rushing into harm’s way to help treat the wounded.
As a volunteer emergency medical worker, she said she wanted to prove that women had a role to play in the conservative Palestinian society of Gaza.
“Being a medic is not only a job for a man,” Razan Al Najjar, 20, said in an interview at a Gaza protest camp in May.

It must take real courage to shoot an unarmed female medic.

Funny how all the recent trouble is only in the territories run by Hamas, but not in the other areas. Hmmm.
