I knew some of the paramedics killed in Gaza. As humanitarian workers, we are drowning in grief | Amy Neilson

I write to bear witness to the incredible nature of these men - to their kindness, their gentleness and their goodness

When the initial news of the executions of eight paramedics from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and the disappearance of one more broke on Eid al-Fitr, I stared for a long time at the pictures of the men the Israel Defense Forces had killed. I have stared more every day since.

I knew some of these men.
