More than 1,000 doctors and nurses are among at least 44,211 people killed in Israel's 13-month assault on the Gaza Strip, officials in the Hamas-governed Palestinian enclave said Sunday.
"Over 310 other medical personnel were arrested, tortured, and executed in prisons," Gaza's Government Media Office also said in a statement, according to Turkey's state-run Anadolu Agency. "The Israeli army also prevented the entry of medical supplies, health delegations, and hundreds of surgeons into Gaza."
"Hospitals have been a declared target for the Israeli army, which bombed, besieged, and stormed them, killing doctors and nurses, injuring others after directly targeting them," the office said. The statement came after the director of the main partially functioning hospital in northern Gaza was injured in an Israeli strike.
