A prominent surgeon in Gaza, Dr. Adnan Al-Bursh, head of orthopedics at Al-Shifa Hospital, has tragically passed away in an Israeli prison after being detained for over four months. The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society and the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs confirmed his death on April 19 at Ofer prison in the occupied West Bank.
Dr. Al-Bursh was arrested during the Israeli military ground invasion of the Jabalya refugee camp in December, along with 10 other medical workers. He was taken into custody while treating patients at Al-Awda Hospital, as reported by Palestinian sources.
