Palestinian Ministry of Health Gaza

The occupation forces forced the displaced males to take off their clothes and arrested some of them. The medical staff were gathered and detained in one room. A number of these staff were summoned, headed by the hospital director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, to where the occupation forces were located in the hospital yard. All of them are unaccounted for after communication with them was cut off.

The Ministry of Health calls on international institutions to intervene urgently to protect the health staff and patients who are there without water, food or medical services.
