Deep concerns over 'inhuman' detention of Gazans by Israeli authorities

Amid further reported bombardment of Gaza overnight into Tuesday, UN and partner organizations have expressed deep concern over the 'inhuman' detention of suspected Palestinian fighters in the enclave by Israeli authorities, alleging treatment so poor that some had to have limbs amputated 'due to prolonged shackling'.

In a new report on the situation in Gaza for May 2024, the authors cited testimonies 'from medics and whistleblowers' that injured detainees have been held at a field hospital with 'shackled hands and feet and blindfolded 24/7 to their beds'.
