Fifteen Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers, including at least one United Nations employee, were killed by Israeli forces "one by one" and buried in a mass grave eight days ago in southern Gaza, the UN has said.

According to the UN humanitarian office (Ocha), the Palestine Red Crescent and civil defense workers were on a mission to rescue colleagues who had been shot earlier in the day when their clearly marked vehicles came under Israeli fire in Tel al-Sultan in Rafah city. A Red Crescent official in Gaza said there was evidence of at least one person being arrested and killed, after the body of one of the dead was found with his hands tied.

The shooting occurred on March 23, a day into the renewed Israeli offensive in the area near the Egyptian border. Another Red Crescent worker on the mission has been reported missing.

Jonathan Whittall, head of Ocha in Palestine, said in a video statement: "Seven days ago, civil defense ambulances and PRCS arrived on the scene. One by one, they were hit, they were hit. Their bodies were collected and buried in this mass grave."

"We're digging them up in their uniforms, in their gloves. They were here to save lives. Instead, they ended up in a mass grave," Whittall said. "These ambulances are buried in the sand. Here's a UN vehicle, buried in the sand. A bulldozer - the Israeli force's bulldozer - buried them."

Philippe Lazzarini, head of the UN relief agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, said one of its employees was among the dead found in Rafah.

“The body of our colleague killed in Rafah was taken yesterday, along with aid workers from the [Palestinian Red Crescent] – all dumped in shallow graves – a profound violation of human dignity,” Lazzarini wrote in a post on social media.

The Israeli military said its "initial assessment" of the incident revealed that its troops had opened fire on several vehicles "advancing suspiciously towards IDF troops without emergency lights or signals."

They added that the vehicle's movement had not been coordinated in advance with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and that the area was an "active combat zone." The Red Crescent said the Tel al-Sultan district was considered safe and movement there was normal, "not requiring coordination."

The IDF also claimed to have killed nine militants from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
