Testimonies of Torture
A hint of appalling testimonies of torture documented by HWW – Palestine from released Palestinian healthcare workers who were detained by IOF.
“IOF soldiers took my face ID and then asked me about my name and work, just when I told them that I am a nurse, all of them hit me on my face with everything they hold, -he continued while crying- they questioned me for 10 minutes then they left me and moved to my colleuges, they unleashed dogs on my colleagues, I have heard their voices screaming while being hit. Then they took a number of them and left the hospital and resumed bombing the surrounding till 5 PM”.
Mohammed Al-Kahlout, Chief nurse at The Indonesian Hospital
“It was so hard! Utter humiliation!, in every sense of the word. Dealing with harmful and predatory animals is gentler than what we encountered! We were detained in several places for several days. We were detained for long clod nights in the open air, on top of the gravel, covered by the cold from the previous trough. Our hands were bleeding from the tight handcuffs. We lost sensation from the intense pressure on our limbs. For two days, they prevented us from relieving ourselves or even drinking a sip of water”.
ICU Specialist
The Indonesian Hospital
"He pulled my hair and covered my face with sand and made me eat from it. Then he asked me, so do you want to admit that you are Hamas or should I let the young men put an electric baton in your ass and cut off your dick? I told him “I am not Hamas and you accuse me of being Hamas. I am not Hamas”. He told me, I will make you confess, I will bring your mother and undress her in front of the guys".
