Hamas says it “strongly condemns” the arrest of Dr Muhammad Abu Salmiya, describing it as “nothing less than despicable” and “lacking any sense of humanity and morals”.
Dr Muhammad Abu Salmiya, who heads al Shifa hospital in Gaza City, has been detained along with “some of the medical staff”, a spokesman said.
Hamas said it “strongly condemned” his arrest, describing it as “nothing less than despicable” and “lacking any sense of humanity and morals”.
The group said it was a “flagrant violation of international norms and charters” given there are “obligations to ensure that medical personnel are never harmed, including in times of war”.
Hamas is calling on international bodies including the Red Cross and World Health Organisation (WHO) to evacuate the remaining patients from al Shifa.
