Some 25 Doctors and medics have been killed, with scores injured, and 85 ambulances totally destroyed in more than 1,300 attacks on ambulances since September 2000. This week Dr. Anaan Al-Atira was wounded in the head in Balata Camp as she tended a dying child, and a young volunteer was seriously injured.
Part of the conditions that Rachel Corrie was trying to call attention to in Rafah, Palestine: "A piece of shrapnel was embedded in his [ambulance driver's] hand and a very large piece had sliced into his leg, severing the artery. When Feras al-Bakri tried to take him to hospital, in a life or death situation, the Israeli soldiers told him, 'good, let him die, you can go only after he is dead' and held the ambulance for more than 60 minutes at the camp exit, according to Feras."
