HRW calls for probe into Israeli assaults on Gaza healthcare workers
The detention of healthcare workers in the context of the Israeli military’s repeated attacks on hospitals in Gaza has contributed to the catastrophic degradation of the besieged territory’s healthcare system.
“The Israeli government’s mistreatment of Palestinian healthcare workers has continued in the shadows and needs to immediately stop,” said Balkees Jarrah, acting Middle East director at HRW.
Released doctors, nurses and paramedics have described to the organisation the mistreatment they endured in Israeli prisons, including humiliation, beatings, forced stress positions, prolonged blindfolding and deprivation of medical care. They also reported being subjected to torture, including rape and sexual assault by Israeli forces, as well as poor detention conditions for all detainees.
