US urges Israel to let Palestinian ambulances move

The United States on Tuesday called on Israel to fully implement an agreement allowing Palestinian Red Crescent ambulances to move freely in Palestinian territory and through Israeli checkpoints.

John Bellinger, legal adviser at the US State Department, also said that the Israeli relief organisation Magen David Adom (MDA) and the Palestinian Red Crescent (PRC) were close to reaching an agreement for PRC ambulances to enter Jerusalem. (Reuters)
