Nearly 1,000 Palestinian health workers killed by Israeli forces in Gaza named

Israeli forces have killed 1,151 Palestinians working in Gaza’s health sector during its onslaught on the enclave, the Palestinian health ministry said on Tuesday. 

A total of 986 were named in a new report published by the ministry, while personal data for the remaining 165 was still being verified. 

The delay in the verification process was due to Israeli authorities withholding the victims' bodies or their remains being buried under rubble. 

At least 165 of those killed were doctors, 260 nurses, 300 management and support personnel, 184 health associate professionals, 76 pharmacists and 12 other health workers. 

“The Palestinian sector has been subjected to a systematic attack by the occupation forces that has affected all its components,” the ministry said.
