340 Palestinian medics killed in Israeli onslaught in Gaza since Oct. 7
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – At least 340 Palestinian medics have been killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip since October 7, according to Health Minister Mai Alkaila.
“Health teams are facing serious violations in Gaza and the West Bank,” Alkaila said during a rally held outside the UN office in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
“At least 340 medics have been killed, 900 injured and more than 100 others detained by Israel during its war on Gaza,” she added.
Last month, Israeli soldiers disguising themselves as doctors, nurses, and civilians raided a hospital in Jenin city and killed three Palestinians, including two brothers, with gun silencers.
“These cruel and illegal practices constitute clear violations of many provisions of international humanitarian law,” the health minister said.
Israel has launched a deadly offensive on Gaza following an October 7 cross-border attack by Hamas, killing at least 27,708 Palestinians and injuring 67,147 others.
The Israeli offensive has left 85% of Gaza’s population internally displaced amid acute shortages of food, clean water and medicine, while 60% of the enclave’s infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the UN.
