Prisoners held by Israel are going through ‘tragic conditions’: al-Shifa Hospital director

The Israeli military has released a group of Palestinians from prison. They're having medical checks at Al-Aqsa and Nasser Hospitals. Among those released is the director of al-Shifa Hospital, Muhammad Abu Salmiya. He was detained in November, while taking part in a United Nations mission to evacuate patients, from the medical complex. Abu Salamiya says Israeli forces detained him on no legal grounds. Following his release from Israeli detention, the director of al-Shifa Hospital, Muhammad Abu Salmiya, has confirmed that Palestinian prisoners are going through “tragic conditions” due to the lack of food, drink and torture. He said hundreds of medical personnel have been detained by Israeli forces, and that a number of Palestinian detainees were killed while tortured. He stressed that Palestinians in Gaza would rebuild the Strip, including his hospital. Palestinian sources confirmed that Abu Salmiya was subjected to brutal torture during his detention in Israeli-run prisons. Mansour Shouman, a Palestinian journalist and humanitarian who witnessed Israel’s war in Rafah and Khan Younis, has told Al Jazeera that “there are thousands more like Dr Muhammad Abu Salmiya who had been detained by Israel in the wrongful way over the past few months”.
