TW: Violence against Healthcare Workers.
@humanrightswatch has released a detailed report on torture of Palestinian healthcare workers, including doctors and nurses, in Gaza by the Israeli Occupation Forces.
“Released doctors, nurses and paramedics described to Human Rights Watch their mistreatment in Israeli custody, including humiliation, beatings, forced stress positions, prolonged cuffing and blindfolding, and denial of medical care. They also reported torture, including rape and sexual abuse by Israeli forces, denial of medical care, and poor detention conditions for the general detainee population.“
This is abhorrent. This is illegal. This is immoral. We must NEVER accept this kind of treatment for those who have dedicated their lives to heal. I urge all healthcare workers to call your elected officials to put pressure on our government to stop this madness. We must resist the normalization of evil.
