GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Gaza’s health ministry said on Wednesday that doctor Ziyad al-Dalo was martyred in an Israeli jail, adding that he was kidnaped from Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City on March 18, 2024.
In a statement, the health ministry condemned the Israeli occupation army’s persistence in committing “heinous crimes” against Palestinian medical workers.
The health ministry appealed to international and human rights organizations to intervene immediately to reveal the fate of dozens of Palestinian health and medical workers who were kidnaped while performing their duties.
The health ministry called for immediate international action to hold the Israeli occupation regime accountable for its crimes against medical staff and civilians in Gaza.
A few days ago, the health ministry received information that a paramedic called Hamdan Annaba was martyred on the same day he was kidnaped from Gaza. He was detained at the Netzarim checkpoint inside Gaza on December 2, 2023 as he was escorting sick and wounded citizens.
Since the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza started, over 50 detainees from Gaza have been pronounced dead in Israeli detention centers and jails as a result of their exposure to excruciating torture or medical neglect.
