Summary
Since October 7, 2023, 41 healthcare workers have been kidnapped by Israeli Occupation Forces. Of these, 2 have been released, while 39 remain in custody. The detained include 16 physicians (13 from Gaza and 3 from the West Bank), 1 dentist, 9 paramedics, 7 nurses, 4 technicians, and 2 administrative staff. The continued detention of these healthcare professionals severely impacts the availability of medical care in Palestine. HWW remains committed to documenting these cases and advocating for the immediate release and protection of all detained healthcare workers.
