Mon Apr 07 11:59:32 UTC 2025: ## Germany Demands Urgent Probe into Killing of 15 Aid Workers in Gaza
**Berlin, April 7, 2025** – Germany has demanded an immediate investigation into allegations that Israeli forces intentionally targeted a convoy of ambulances in Gaza on March 23, resulting in the deaths of 15 aid workers. The call follows the release of new video footage that appears to contradict the Israeli military’s account of the incident.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Christian Wagner described the accusations as “shocking” and “terrible,” emphasizing the urgent need for clarification. He stated that a full investigation is crucial for maintaining the credibility of Israel.
The Israeli military initially claimed that soldiers fired on vehicles approaching them suspiciously, without prior authorization and with their lights off. However, video footage released by the Palestinian Red Crescent shows ambulances with headlights and emergency lights activated. The six-minute, 42-second video was recovered from the phone of a deceased aid worker.
The incident, which sparked international condemnation, has raised significant questions about the actions of the Israeli army. The German government’s call for accountability underscores the growing international pressure for a thorough and transparent investigation into the deaths of the 15 medics and humanitarian workers.
