Health Workers

In these pages, we commemorate and honor those who devoted and eventually gave their lives in service of others. During the ongoing genocidal war, over 500 Palestinian health workers have been killed and over 300 have been abducted, each of whom had a distinguished presence and remarkable history.

We relied primarily on the list of martyrs issued regularly by the Palestinian Ministry of Health based on its primary data. This list was corroborated and expanded using the primary data collection conducted and published by "Healthcare Workers Watch", a group of volunteer Palestinian health workers who monitor and publish attacks on health in Palestine. A large part of the personal photographs we use of health workers were also collected and published by Healthcare Workers Watch. For abducted and disappeared health workers, we relied primarily on the lists collected and published by Healthcare Workers Watch, which included the names and professions of these health workers. We gathered further details on health workers' professional history and the circumstances surrounding their targeting from statements and reports by the Ministry of Health and other organizations, as well as news reports, verified social media accounts, and firsthand information from colleagues and relatives of the health workers. Some of these files are still undergoing translation into English.

When the circumstances allow, we will use field research to gather information about victims who we did not find sufficient information about using secondary sources.
