Israeli forces use detainees as human shields in hospital evacuation attempt: Monitor

The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor reports that Israeli forces have used Palestinians as human shields in their continued attempts to evacuate hospitals in northern Gaza.

The Geneva-based group quoted its field teams as saying Israeli soldiers forced Palestinian detainees “to warn hospital staff that all displaced persons and companions of patients must leave the premises and head to areas controlled by Israeli forces”.

“Many were arrested upon arrival, while others were forced to flee to a checkpoint in the Civil Administration area and eventually to Gaza City,” also in the north, according to the monitor.


International team forced to leave Kamal Adwan Hospital due to Israeli bombing: WHO

The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) reports that the international medical team, deployed by the UN body just five days earlier after five Israeli denials, has now been forced to leave after 33 people were reported killed just outside the besieged Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya.

Displaced Palestinians, caregivers and many injured patients had to flee amid panic, leaving only 90 patients and 66 medical staff inside the “minimally functional” hospital in northern Gaza, said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

Video of Israeli snipers firing at civilians shows ‘bleak reality’ at Kamal Adwan Hospital

This video was captured by one of the medical workers at Kamal Adwan Hospital. Nobody was able to get out of the hospital and the Israeli snipers in the area continued to shoot Palestinians trying to assist injured people, who were left bleeding without medical attention due to the security situation.

Civilians were trying by all means to rescue a man who was left in the middle of the road. This is a very dramatic video showing the bleak reality unfolding at Kamal Adwan Hospital, and that happens in every corner of the Strip.

Israeli forces are causing destruction and then snipers are shooting at civilians who are taking the responsibility to help the wounded victims in the area of bombardment.

Palestinian prisoners released by Israel taken to hospital in Gaza

Eighteen prisoners released by Israel were immediately transferred to the European Hospital in southern Gaza for medical examinations, Anadolu news agency reports.

In recent months, the Israeli army has released dozens of detainees in sporadic batches, many of whom were in poor health as detainees have been subject to torture and other forms of mistreatment.

Since its ground offensive began last October, the Israeli military has detained thousands of Palestinians, including women, children, healthcare workers, and civil defence personnel.
