The Euro-Med Monitor has said survivors of Israel’s raid on Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital have provided “harrowing testimonies” of how Israeli troops carried out “deliberate killings, field executions, as well as sexual and physical assaults on women and girls” in and near the medical facility, Al Jazeera reports.

A 44-year-old paramedic recounted how Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian man who was waving a white flag as well as a child who had a psychological disorder.

“Among us were five injured individuals who were forced to walk in front of the tank. Suddenly, they were shot dead without any questioning,” he was quoted as saying.

The Euro-Med Monitor also said testimonies indicate Israeli soldiers forced women and girls to remove their clothing under threats, insults and offensive slurs. Several women and girls also reported being sexually harassed.

One woman told the group’s field team: “A soldier forced a nurse to take off her trousers, then placed his hand on her. When she tried to resist, he struck her hard across the face, causing her nose to bleed.” Another woman reported that a soldier told a woman in their group: “Take it off, or we’ll force it off you.”
