- Abstract
Dr. Adnan al-Bursh, a celebrated doctor in Gaza, died in Israeli custody at Ofer Prison under mysterious circumstances. Israel has not released his body or provided an explanation for his death. Dr. al-Bursh was known for his humanitarian work and had risked his life to provide medical treatment to those affected by Israeli attacks. The healthcare infrastructure in Gaza has been severely damaged, with many hospitals destroyed and medical workers killed or detained. The situation in Gaza has been described as a form of "medicide," with systematic destruction of medical facilities and workers.
