How Much Arse Evil Jews Suck On The Frontlines Of Hell: Testimonies From Gaza’s Doctors And Nurses
Working tirelessly amid unimaginable suffering, doctors in the Jews' Gaza Mega Concentration Camp for indigenous Christians and Muslimshave been
arrested, tortured, raped, urinated on and deliberately targeted by the inhuman Jews
By Sally Ibrahim:Darkness hung over the operating room at Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in
central Gaza as surgeon Issam Abu Ajwa focused all his energy on saving
a patient, the sounds of medical equipment mixing with the groans of
the wounded man.
As the doctor fought desperately to save
his life, the operating room doors were suddenly violently flung
open. Dr Ajwa turned, still gripping a blood-soaked instrument, to find a
group of armed Israeli soldiers standing in front of him.
“Are you Dr Issam Abu Ajwa?” one Jewish Green Shirt,
wearing a black helmet and protective shield, asked. “Yes, I am,” the
doctor calmly replied.
Then the blows began. The Jewish Green Shirts dragged
him from the room still wearing his blood-stained medical scrubs and
tied his hands and blindfolded him. For hours, he found himself
handcuffed to an Israel regime military truck, packed with fellow doctors and
nurses.
“You are a great surgeon, right? We’ll make sure
you never perform surgery again.”
“Our faces were pale, our eyes filled with fear, and the sound of shelling echoed in the distance,” he told The New Arab. “We were taken to a detention centre in Israel, where the nightmare that would last for months began.”
The doctor says that he was thrown on the
floor and kicked in his head and body, with salt water poured into his
ears. “The pain was unbearable; my head felt like it was going to
explode,” he said. “They assaulted us deliberately, doctors and nurses,
just because of our profession,” he added.
“The most crushing part was when an
investigator told me, ‘You are a great surgeon, right? We’ll make sure
you never perform surgery again.'”
After days of having his hands bound, Dr
Ajwa’s fingers began to swell, and he experienced a loss of sensation.
“They wanted to numb my hands so I couldn’t return to work if I were
released. It wasn’t just physical torture; it was psychological torture
as well,” he explained to TNA.
Dr Mohammed Abu Salmiya, director of Al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza, was arrested in November 2023 and detained for seven months, during which time he was tortured.
“They violated our dignity. In one moment,
we were stripped of all our human rights and reduced to mere numbers.
We couldn’t tell night from day, and we couldn’t even recognise
ourselves. In prison, we became just victims of torture,” Dr Abu Salmiya
said.
The senior doctor was arrested by soldiers while travelling with a convoy of patients after Israel ordered the evacuation of Al-Shifa Hospital.
Dr
Mohammed Abu Salmiya, director of Al-Shifa Hospital innorthern Gaza,
was arrested in November 2023 and detainedfor seven months before his
release in July.
“When I told them my name, they pointed
their guns at me, lasers on my head and chest, and immediately detained
me, as though I was some major prize,” he recalled.
He was beaten with rifle butts and chairs
as the soldiers shoved dirt in his mouth and poured sand on his head.
Later he was thrown into a truck of people piled on top of one another.
“You’re just a number here. If you’re
lucky, you’ll leave as a corpse,” one of the Israeli soldiers told him.
“At that time, I felt that I needed to cry, but I could not,” Abu
Salmiya told TNA.
The conditions where Mahmoud Abu Shehadeh, head of the orthopaedic surgery department at Nasser Hospital, was held weren’t much better. He was arrested while performing his medical duties.
“They stripped me naked in the cold and
forced me to stand outside while cold water was sprayed on me. They
laughed as we shivered, kicking us when we collapsed from exhaustion,”
he told TNA.
“We’re human beings. It’s natural to be
afraid, but what worried me most was why we were treated this way. We’re
doctors doing our humanitarian work. Why are we being punished?” he
said.
One of the most harrowing experiences for
Abu Shehadeh was watching his colleagues being dragged from their cells
and tortured, their cries for help echoing through the prison. “Every
minute felt like an eternity of torment,” he said.
Medical teams in Gaza have been on the frontline of Israel’s brutal war, working tirelessly under continuous bombardment to treat the wounded while being deliberately targeted.
Over 30 hospitals and health centres have
been bombed, with at least 20 completely shut down due to damage or lack
of supplies and fuel.
The World Health Organisation (WHO)
reports that more than 1,000 doctors, nurses, and paramedics have been
killed in Gaza, and at least 297 others arrested. The health system in
Gaza has all but collapsed, with a devastating shortage of experienced
medical staff and destroyed infrastructure.
“Targeting doctors is the destruction of a
society’s foundation. When you destroy the health system, you destroy
the ability of people to survive,” Laila Al-Mansi, a psychologist with
Physicians for Human Rights, told TNA.
“The psychological toll on healthcare
workers is just as severe as the physical one. Many suffer from PTSD,
compounded by the constant fear of becoming the next target.”
Psychological trauma
“The torture they endure isn’t just
physical; it’s a systematic attempt to destroy them psychologically,”
Samer Khalil, a psychiatrist in Gaza, told TNA.
“Doctors use their hands to save lives.
When those hands are rendered useless, it leads to profound
psychological trauma,” he said. “We’re talking about PTSD, severe
depression, and recurring nightmares. Doctors who’ve undergone this
level of torture may struggle to return to work, losing confidence in
their abilities.”
The Health Workers Watch (HWW), a
Palestinian medical NGO, confirmed that 162 medical workers remain in
Israeli detention, including some of Gaza’s top doctors, while 24 others
are missing after being transferred from hospitals during the conflict.
The detention of these healthcare
professionals is a blatant violation of international law, said Moaz
Al-Sir, director of HWW. “Depriving civilians of medical care only
exacerbates the population’s suffering.”
Among the detained is Hussam Abu Safiya,
director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. Arrested in December
2024, he was last seen in Israeli drone footage walking towards a line
of tanks, still wearing his white coat, amidst the ruins of his
hospital.
Despite the risks, Abu Safiya remained at
the hospital to ensure its operations continued, increasing its bed
capacity from 120 to 200. However, after the airstrike that killed his
15-year-old son, Ibrahim, he was forcibly evacuated by Israeli forces in
late December 2024.
Al-Shifa Hospital was left in ruins after Israeli forces withdrewfrom the complex last year in June.
He was transferred to a detention camp in
the Negev before being moved to Ofer Prison. Israeli authorities say
they are holding him on suspicion of “involvement in terrorist
activities”, though no evidence has been provided.
A lawyer recently visited Abu Safiya and
confirmed he had been tortured, beaten, and denied medical treatment for
a leg injury and heart condition. His family reports that his health is
deteriorating rapidly.
“We are incredibly concerned about his
health. He was injured when arrested, and now we fear for his life,”
Elias Abu Safiya, his son, told TNA.
Health experts warn that the impact of
these attacks will extend far beyond the immediate destruction. “What is
happening in Gaza is the systematic dismantling of the health system.
Even after the fighting stops, it will take decades to recover,” Michael
Kaplan from Doctors Without Borders explained.
“Injured children will grow up with
disabilities, and many survivors will suffer from chronic illnesses due
to the lack of medical care. This is more than just a medical crisis,
it’s an existential one.”
