Weekly Press Release 16-22 August 2003
During this reporting period, the Israeli Army has continued to violate the First and Fourth Geneva Conventions and the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights by denying freedom of movement to Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) ambulances
and its medical teams, who were threatened by gunfire, humiliated and verbally and physically abused.
Delays, denial of access and arbitrary searches had a negative impact on the sick and the wounded in Bethlehem, Jenin,
Nablus, Qalqilia and Gaza.
