Testimony of Muhammad Ramadan of the ICRC, 7.1.09: Yesterday at 13:00 the driver and I set out to transfer urgent medical supplies by ICRC truck to Khan Younis. Our exit was pre-coordinated with the Israeli army and the truck is clearly marked with the ICRC symbols. When we reached netzarim junction [on the main north-south road in Gaza – PHR-Israel], a tank shot at us from its machine gun. I could see the tank clearly. The bullets hit the ground 15 meteres away from us. Afterwards we were also shot at from the air. We back up some 100 meters and then the tank shot again. We went back to the office and after an hour we set out again, but we were shot at again in the Netzarim area. In the end we didn't transfer the medical supplies. It should be noted that this axis has been closed since the start of the operation and only today, 7.1.09, we can travel through them for the first time, although we have been clarifying the need for access since the start of the operation
