The UK-based charity Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) has called on the British government to take “urgent action” to protect healthcare workers in Gaza, including the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, who was detained last month by Israel, according to Anadolu.
In a statement, MAP pointed out the increase in Israel’s systematic attacks targeting Gaza’s health system and medical staff, which is “making Palestinian survival impossible.”
“We at MAP are extremely concerned for the life and safety of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and all Palestinian health care workers detained by Israeli forces,” said Fikr Shalltoot, MAP’s Gaza director.
He added that these detentions, alongside systematic assaults on hospitals in North Gaza, have left tens of thousands of people without access to health care and forced them to flee southwards.
