The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced on Thursday that the death toll of the health system in the Gaza Strip has risen to 496 since October 7, following the killing of doctor Adnan al-Barsh in the Israeli Ofer prison.
The ministry said in a statement that the death toll of the health sector reached 1,500 wounded, in addition to 309 prisoners.
She pointed out that “the killing of Dr. Al-Barsh will not be the last crime in light of the complete secrecy of the situation of prisoners in prisons, especially those arrested from the Gaza Strip.”
The ministry called on “the international community and health and human rights organizations to intervene and protect prisoners in prisons from torture, terrorism and murder.”
