Hundreds of Palestinian doctors detained by Israel
The disappearance of doctors has become a disturbing trend in Gaza.
The World Health Organization reports that at least 214 medical staff have been detained by Israeli forces.
The situation garnered international attention when Dr. Adnan Al-Bursh, a prominent surgeon from Al-Shifa Hospital, died in April under detention in Israel’s Ofer Prison, which is located in the West Bank.
Al-Bursh’s death, believed to be due to torture, has prompted calls for an independent investigation.
The Palestinian Health Ministry reports that 493 Palestinian medical workers have been killed in Gaza over the past seven months.
Israeli forces have targeted hospitals, alleging they harbor fighters, a claim denied by Gaza’s medical staff.
Recent attacks on Kamal Adwan and Al-Awda hospitals have seen more detentions of medical personnel.
The escalating assault has led to dire conditions, with doctors sharing harrowing scenes from hospitals under siege.
