OVER 1,000 DOCTORS, NURSES KILLED IN GAZA SINCE ONSET OF WAR

Mon 25 November 2024:

More than 1,000 doctors and nurses have been killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip since last year, local authorities announced on Sunday.

“Over 310 other medical personnel were arrested, tortured, and executed in prisons,” Gaza’s government media office said in a statement.

“The Israeli Army also prevented the entry of medical supplies, health delegations, and hundreds of surgeons into Gaza,” it added.

The media office accused the Israeli Army of systematically targeting hospitals as part of a plan to undermine the healthcare system in the besieged enclave.

“Hospitals have been a declared target for the Israeli army, which bombed, besieged, and stormed them, killing doctors and nurses, injuring others after directly targeting them,” the statement read.

Israel’s October 2023-present genocidal war on the besieged enclave has killed over 44,200 people, mostly children and women, and injured more than 104,500 others.

The figures exclude tens of thousands of dead who are believed to be buried in the bombed-out ruins of homes, shops, shelters and other buildings.

The military campaign has turned much of the enclave of 2.3 million people into ruins, leaving most civilians homeless and at risk of famine. The Palestinian territory has been identified as one of the places most likely to see deadly hunger levels in the coming months, according to a new report by United Nations food agencies.
