The Ministry of Health in Gaza stated that the Israeli occupation imposes severe restrictions on prisoners in general, and on detained medical personnel in particular.
The Ministry explained that the lawyer of the detained physician, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, described the treatment he is subjected to during interrogation as brutal, confirming that he has been continuously beaten and has lost 40 kilograms of weight. He is now suffering from high blood pressure and heart muscle weakness.
The Ministry noted that 360 healthcare workers have been arrested since the start of the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
