Palestinian Red Crescent: 332 Palestinians injured by gas, rubber bullets and retaliations on Sunday

The Palestinian Red Crescent has revealed that 332 Palestinians have been injured in clashes across the West Bank and East Jerusalem on Sunday. While the majority at 204 were hurt by tear gas,  51 were wounded by rubber-coated bullets and seven by live bullets - four were run over.

The PRC also stated on Sunday that it has documented 53 attacks against its teams and ambulances in which 37 emergency medical technicians (EMTs) were wounded and around 20 ambulances were damaged since the latest round of violence began on 3 October.

"These violations constitute a grave breach of IHL provisions which stipulate that National Societies, such as the Palestine Red Crescent, must be allowed to provide humanitarian services to those in need," the organisation wrote.
