Shocking testimonies of doctors in Gaza: Israeli soldiers stripped us, washed us

Palestinian doctors in Gaza have recounted the horror they experienced at the hands of the Israeli army.

The BBC has published their testimonies where they show that they were stripped, beaten barbarically by the Israeli army after the occupation of the hospital.

Ahmed Abu Sabha, a doctor at Nasser Hospital, described being held for a week in detention, where dogs attacked him and his hand was broken.

His testimony is consistent with that of two other doctors who wished to remain anonymous for fear of reprisal.

They told the BBC they were humiliated, beaten, doused with cold water and forced to kneel in uncomfortable positions for hours. They said they were detained for days before being released.

The BBC gave details of their claims to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). They did not directly answer questions about these testimonies, or deny specific allegations of abuse. But they denied that medical staff were harmed during their operation.

They said that "any abuse of prisoners is contrary to IDF orders and is therefore strictly prohibited."

The IDF raided the hospital in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, one of the few in the Strip still functioning, on February 15, saying intelligence indicated the hospital housed Hamas operatives.

They also said that Israeli hostages taken by Hamas on October 7 were held there, and some of the hostages themselves have publicly said they were held in Nasser.

Footage secretly filmed at the hospital on February 16, the day the doctors were detained, was shared with the BBC.

In the video, several doctors can be seen, who were naked in front of the hospital's emergency building, kneeling with their hands behind their heads./ CNA
