Last week, 179 health workers gathered outside St Thomas’ Hospital in London to demand the release of 179 Palestinian health workers held in secret detention by Israeli forces.

These Palestinian health workers were taken by Israeli forces while risking their lives to provide urgent medical care to patients. Among those held is Dr. Khaled Al Serr, a surgeon who was taken from Nasser Hospital on 24 March. Like many others held by Israel, he has been subjected to torture and other ill treatment. His testimony was played aloud at the stunt outside St Thomas’s hospital.

This is a deliberate strategy by the Israeli authorities to further destroy Gaza’s healthcare system. Watch the video and share:

We stand in solidarity with these Palestinian health workers, and call on the UK government to hold Israeli authorities accountable for these crimes and release these healthcare heroes immediately.
