How Israeli army brutality killed a disabled Palestinian man

The particular vulnerabilities of disabled people living in Gaza has been highlighted by the case of Ezz al-Din al-Banna, 40, a disabled man who died in Israeli custody last month.

Banna, who was paralysed from the waist down, was arrested by the Israeli army in late November from a building where he was seeking shelter in Gaza City.

Despite being disabled, Banna was brutally beaten and dragged across the floor by the Israeli soldiers who arrested him.

According to relatives, the wounds sustained in the attack would eventually cause complications that would lead to his death in February.
