Israel is continuing to force the collapse of Gaza’s devastated healthcare system, despite the supposed ceasefire – during which it has killed well over a hundred people through continued bombing and shooting.

Israel is refusing to release kidnapped Gaza medics

The occupation has refused to release doctors abducted during the genocide, such as Kamal Adwan Hospital’s Hussam Abu Safiya, kidnapped almost a year ago by Israeli forces after they destroyed most of the hospital and murdered many of its medical staff, and field hospital director Marwan al-Hams, abducted in July. Abu Safiya has been beaten, starved and repeatedly tortured in an Israeli jail. Soldiers also took Al-Hams’s daughter Tasneem, a nurse, last week.

The colonial regime has also refused entry to international volunteer doctors trying to return to Gaza to help treat the wounded and starving during the ‘ceasefire’, as surgeons Victoria Rose and Graeme Groome explained during an interview yesterday:

https://www.thecanary.co/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/rose-groome.mp4

Israel has murdered over 1,500 healthcare workers, some of those tortured to death in prison. Israel has over 350 healthcare workers abducted and being held in prisons, under inhumane conditions and frequent torture and violence. The occupation has destroyed or severely damaged all of Gaza’s hospitals and medical experts say that more than four hundred people a day in Gaza are dying from hunger and disease.

    It’s not personal, there just aren’t that many ways to commit genocide with this ceasefire going on.

      Completely clear and maddening. What’s incredible is how many people pretending otherwise. Maybe reality is just too harsh to acknowledge // admit.

      The intention was never peace. Trump can force israel to stop everything if he want same as Biden but they are both genocide enablers. Blinken also claimed that Biden laid thr groundwork for this fs fake peace deal

      Yep, this is merely a truce,good for Israel to rearm. There can’t be peace without the creation of a Palestinian State and everyone should know that at this point.

        I’d argue that the condition for peace is the dismantling of the Israeli state (in its current apartheid form)

          You mean its government I guess,and that’s important but more important is the recognition of the Palestinian state imo. This would be a game changer.

            I mean the State, which the government operates.

            The State which has the monopoly on the legitimate (as defined by itself) use of violence, through its laws and regulations and sub-organizations and shaping of society. The State that is an apartheid State.

            Recognizing the countries around Israel doesn’t keep Israel from attacking them whenever they feel like it. Recognizing Palestine is important in the long term, sure, but that won’t matter as long as Israel keeps behaving the same way.

            The idea of a Palestinian state is downright laughable at this point. The only people keeping that myth alive are Israeli propagandists. Keeping the myth of such a state around is a useful distraction from real peace efforts.

            Seriously, anyone still clinging to the idea in 2025 is hopelessly out of touch.

      He got one side to agree to peace, I think that should get him HALF a nobel peace prize.

      Then later, when he gets the OTHER side to agree to whichever peace deal THEY prefer, he can get the OTHER half of his nobel peace prize, and he can put them together into a whole nobel peace prize. Cover up the seam with some gold paint, and pretty soon people will be telling him it’s really beautiful, that it’s the best looking nobel peace prize that they’ve ever seen, it’s probably actually better than the original kind. Other people have never gotten one like this. And it’s more meaningful too, he had to do twice as much work to get it. That’s what people are saying. It’s probably the most important nobel peace prize of all time, actually.

    Wait a minute, this can’t be.

    This sounds like something the bad guys would do, and we’ve always been told that Israel are the good guys.

    They wouldn’t lie to us, right?

    Murdering foreign doctors would be harder to justify, the local ones may be sold to the public as hamas assets

    Doctors are valuable. Why release a high value slave.

    Maybe some of those anti semitic sentiments people hold are grounded in reality…
