US EditionA Father Returns From Israeli Detention to Find Gaza and His Family Shattered
More than 1,800 Palestinians freed under a ceasefire deal faced harsh detention conditions, with at least 75 dying in custody, according to a U.N. report on torture and abuse.
- Last week detainees seized from Gaza were freed under a ceasefire deal that also secured the release of all 20 surviving Israeli hostages.
- Taken after the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks, many detainees were held without charges, including Dr. Ahmed Muhanna, director of Al-Awda Hospital, detained during a December 2023 raid.
- Released detainees told medical staff they had been deprived of food, forced to drink toilet water, and some arrived at hospital with fresh gunshot wounds, while the Ministry of Health in Gaza posted photos of bodies and Israel returned 120 returned bodies.
- Last month, released detainees arrived at Nasser Hospital for health checks, with Moureen Kaki noting most appeared gaunt and limping, while dozens of health care workers returned and Dr. Ahmed Muhanna was welcomed back to Al-Awda Hospital.
- The U.N. reported at least 75 deaths in detention last month, and the Israel Defense Forces did not respond to torture allegations.
