Gaza’s Health Ministry reports that at least 360 medical personnel have been arrested by Israel inside the enclave since the start of the onslaught and those detained are “living in tragic and harsh conditions”, Al Jazeera reports.

Among the detainees are doctors, further depriving thousands of wounded Palestinians of medical care, the ministry said in a statement.

It called for urgent international intervention “to criminalise the occupation’s practices against imprisoned medical staff and to pressure for their release”.

The Israeli army has killed at least 1,400 healthcare and medical workers across Gaza since the start of the offensive in October 2023, according to the ministry.
