'Convoys must be accompanied by Red Cross, UN vehicles,' urges government.

Gaza's government on Monday demanded protection for convoys evacuating injured Palestinians to Egypt via Rafah crossing.

"Convoys must be accompanied by the Red Cross and United Nations vehicles to ensure their protection and safety," Gaza's Government Media Office said in a statement.

At least 13 Palestinians were killed and 26 others injured when Israeli warplanes struck an ambulance in Gaza City on Friday. The Israeli army claimed Hamas members were using the vehicle to transport weapons.

Scores of injured Palestinians and foreign passport holders were evacuated from the Gaza Strip to Egypt via the Rafah border crossing in the past few days, according to Palestinian sources.

The Israeli army has launched air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip following a cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct. 7.

At least 9,770 Palestinians, including 4,800 children and 2,550 women, have been killed in the Israeli bombardments in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli death toll is nearly 1,600, according to official figures.

Besides the large number of casualties and massive displacements, basic supplies are running low for Gaza's 2.3 million residents due to the Israeli siege. -
