Hundreds Of Palestinian Health Workers Remain Unlawfully Detained By Israel: NGOs

In Rome, Italy, on January 12, 2025, sanitarians demonstrate for the National Mobilization Day for the Protection of Gaza's Sanitarians and Patients.

Twenty months after the current campaign of violence began in Gaza, hundreds of Palestinian health care workers remain unlawfully detained or disappeared in Israel’s prison system, say medical staff and aid organisations who call it a violation of international humanitarian law that exacerbates the territory’s already-worsening health care crisis.
