A Palestinian paramedic who was detained by the Israeli military for three days at Al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza has come forward with disturbing allegations of mistreatment. The paramedic, Mohammad Al Shawwa, claims that he and his colleagues were subjected to degrading and violent treatment during their detention.
According to Al Shawwa, the Israeli army forced them out of the hospital one by one, stripped them naked, and left them seated in the yard. Their hands were tied, and they were blindfolded before being humiliated and beaten. Al Shawwa also reported that the army bulldozed the cemetery in the yard, disturbing the graves of martyrs.
