In honor of Public Media Giving Days, a generous donor will TRIPLE your donation, which means it’ll go 3x as far to support our independent journalism. Democracy Now! is funded by you, and that’s why we’re counting on your donation to keep us going strong. Please give today. Every dollar makes a difference—in fact, gets tripled! Thank you so much.

“We Are All Complicit”: Israeli Doctor Details Amputations, Inhumane Treatment of Gazan Detainees

HeadlineApr 05, 2024

A doctor at an Israeli field hospital for detained Gazans said in a letter to government officials, “We are all complicit in breaking the law,” as they described the horrific conditions for Palestinian patients. The doctor said, “Just this week, two prisoners had their legs amputated due to handcuff injuries, which unfortunately is a routine event.” The doctor also said patients at the Negev desert facility are fed through straws, forced to defecate in diapers and held in constant restraints.
