Palestinian surgeon and rector of the University of Glasgow, Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta.
The French government denied entry to the Palestinian surgeon and rector of the University of Glasgow, Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta.who would speak before the French Parliament about the crimes of the Israeli entity in the Gaza Strip.
The ban on the Schengen visa was due to Germany’s decision not to allow the doctor’s presence at a conference on Palestine on April 2 and considered dangerous to public order.
Abu Sitta witnessed all the attacks in Gaza since 2008 and during the first month and a half of the current massacre he first worked at the Al Shifa hospital and was extracted by the Zionist army from the Al Alhi Baptist hospital.
This long experience and the fact that he had witnessed Israeli war crimes on the ground allowed him to understand the reason for the destruction of almost all hospitals and health services, universities and schools at all levels, as well as archaeological sites, churches and mosques by the Israeli regime.
According to Ghassan, Gaza was turned into a scorched earth where people cannot access medical care or food and are victims of a plan for total destruction and extermination.
The evidence of his analyzes motivated the German government, from the intolerable, to enact a Schengen visa ban for Ghassan in all European countries.
The objective is to silence witnesses of Israeli crimes and this amounts to complicity with the extermination plan of “Israel” and collusion in the physical and mental repression against Gaza’s health personnel.
As part of the aforementioned Zionist actions, the director of surgery at Al Shifa hospital, Dr. Adnan Al Bursh, was forcibly evacuated from Al Awda health center and transferred to Ofer prison, where he died on April 19.
Seeing the physical state of the former prisoners, emaciated and marked with deep scars, it is not malicious to think that Al Bursh’s situation was no different.
On the other hand, the practice of confiscation of corpses It is quite widespread among Palestinian prisoners, whose families are denied the right to a decent burial and to mourn their dead.
Silencing the spokesperson or killing a talented doctor for witnessing the attacks on Gaza hospitals will not suppress his messages about the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the number of health workers killed since October 7 has risen to 496. Others one thousand 500 were injured and at least 309 they were arrested.
Among them, around 100 doctors They are missing after being taken from Gaza hospitals.
Since December 17, there has been no news about the director of Al Awda hospital, Dr. Ahmed Muhannaspokesperson for the Israeli army’s attacks on the health system in Gaza.
There are also no reports about the director of Al Shifa hospital, Dr. Mohammad Abu Salmiya, kidnapped on November 23, in the first serious Israeli attack on the facility.
The testimonies of those released recounted the brutal torture to which he was subjected: They broke his arms, dragged him with a chain and forced him to eat from a bowl on the floor.
Other prisoners also reported injuries inflicted by the Israeli army on the nurse Iyad Shaqura and to Dr. Naheed Abu Taaimah, arrested at the Nasser hospital.
An Israeli doctor, located in the field hospital set up in the Sde Teiman detention center, described the catastrophic conditions of those arrested.
The majority suffered damage to their hands and legs, which led to amputations, after having their limbs chained 24 hours a day.
After their release, many health care workers spoke of brutal prison conditions and torture practices.
Witnesses to the abuse were the doctors Abdulrahman Maarouf, Haytham Ahmed, Iyad Zaqout, Ahmed Abu Sabha and Mohammad Al Ron.
On the other hand, the lifeless bodies of several members of the health personnel were found in the mass graves in the Al Shifa and Al Nasser hospitals.
Among the 400 bodies found in Al Shifa were those of the Dr. Yusra Maqadmeh and her son Ahmed, from plastic surgeon Baha’a Al-Kilani, and the director of the pharmaceutical department, Dr. Mohammad Zaher Al-Nono.
The members of Gaza’s health personnel fight with the few means at their disposal, under very harsh working conditions, to guarantee the right to life and survival of the oppressed in Palestine.
