Update: There is now over 100 healthcare workers that have been kidnapped. 

150 Healthcare workers who were working at Hospitals all over Palestine were kidnapped by the IOF. Some of these workers were in Gaza heading to the southern part of the Strip through a "corridor" that "Israel" has claimed to be "safe".
Based on Israel's pattern of behavior, they are being abused and tortured as we speak.

Total HCWs were detained: 150
We are still investigating reports of detaining 70 HCWs from Kamal Adwan Hospital and kidnapping a number of them on 12.12.2023. We are also investigating reports of the kidnapping of an unknown number of HCWs from Al-Ahli Arab Hospital and reports of detaining 80 HCWs and then the abduction of 10 HCWs from Al-Awda Hospital on 19.12.2023.
