MSF calls on Israel to release medical workers detained in Palestine | Israel-Palestine War News

An NGO is ‘outraged’ by Israel’s treatment of health professionals and warns that ‘silence has changed’.

Doctors Without Borders, known by its French acronym MSF, has called for the immediate release of Palestinian medical workers detained by Israel.

The NGO he said in a statement on Monday that he was “enraged by the treatment of health workers, many of whom are being detained in difficulty, without reason or reason”.

MSF reviewed the issue of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiathe head of the Kamal Adwan hospital in northern Gaza, who is in solitary confinement and has reportedly been tortured since his arrest by Israel more than a year and a half ago.

Its support “follows a vicious pattern of Israeli authorities arresting and targeting Palestinian medical workers,” the organization said.

The group Physicians for Human Rights Israel reported that more than 50 medical workers are being detained brutality and Israel, including 15 doctors. They have asked the High Court in Israel to be released.

According to statistics from Healthcare Workers Watch from April, 446 Palestinian medical workers have been illegally detained by the Israeli military since Israel’s terrorist war on Gaza began on October 7, 2023. Six people are said to have been killed in custody, their bodies still with Israel.

MSF also called for the “immediate and unconditional release” of orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mohammed Obeid, who has been in prison for more than 600 days, was working at Kamal Adwan Hospital after his arrest.

MSF said that “for too long, many world leaders have failed to condemn Israel’s behavior in Palestine.

It also said that all health workers who are arbitrarily detained should be given access to adequate medical care and dignified conditions pending their release from prison.

Earlier this month, a UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory and the UN Working Group during the Arbitrary Detention they all called on Israel to release Abu Safia, and all the medical workers were arrested without reason.

His lawyer, Nasser Odeh, warned that the doctor’s health was in danger, and he showed signs of frequent torture. Israel is detaining a pediatrician without charge, after declaring him an “illegal combatant”.

Before being captured by the Israeli army, Abu Safia was a well-known voice expressing the effects of the Israeli war on health security in Gaza.
