„At least 178 Lebanese emergency workers have been killed in Israeli attacks since last October. Three-quarters of the deaths have occurred in the past six weeks.“

Russian forces targeted a fire truck at scene of earlier attack with a drone-dropped bomb

The vehicle was involved in efforts to extinguish a fire in the village of #Bilozerka when it was hit.

“Rescuers managed to get to a safe place. None of the personnel was injured,” the State Emergency Service said in a post on Telegram.

Russian forces regularly target #EmergencyWorkers, often in double-tap missile strikes.

There was a #smurd section as well. It was empty and the guys there told me it is like that all the time. Because obviously killing people is more fun than saving them.

There have been 54 #Flood rescues of people in cars being washed away in #floodwaters over roads in the #VicFloods since Sunday. This is despite repeated warnings from State Emergency Services (SES) not to drive into floodwaters and that it takes as little as 15cm of water for cars to start floating.

I really do despair at the sense of people who endanger not only their own life, but the lives of rescuers. SES rescuers deserve 🎖️ medals.
