Israel continues to refuse to coordinate a rescue operation for paramedics stuck in Rafah, the Palestine Red Crescent Society has said, Al Jazeera reports.

The ambulance service said it lost contact with a team of medics in Gaza’s southernmost city early on Sunday after Israeli forces attacked it.

“We are still awaiting a greenlight [from Israel] to reach the team in Rafah,” the Red Crescent said in a statement.

Several medics were wounded and four ambulances besieged by Israeli soldiers, it said.
