The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that 360 medical personnel have been detained since the beginning of the Israeli genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, including experienced doctors and specialists whose absence has deprived patients and the injured of vital medical care.

In a statement released today, the ministry affirmed that the Israeli occupation imposes strict restrictions on prisoners in general and medical staff detainees in particular, who endure harsh and tragic conditions in Israeli detention centers.
The ministry added that the lawyer of detainee Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, based on his latest visit, described the brutal treatment he has suffered during interrogations, including continuous beatings, deteriorating health, and denial of medical treatment.
Dr. Abu Safiya, detained since December 27, has reportedly lost 40 kilograms of weight and suffers from high blood pressure and cardiac muscle weakness.
The ministry called on relevant international bodies to urgently intervene, criminalize the occupation’s practices against detained medical personnel, and pressure for their immediate release.
