Early in September 2024, nearly a year after Israel’s intensified genocide on Palestine, 179 healthcare workers gathered across the UK to bring awareness to 179 Palestinian healthcare workers detained by Israeli forces, as reported by Amnesty International UK.

In their Instagram post, which was reposted by the retail brand WearThePeace who has taken on a journalistic role after US Media has largely not reported on Palestinian detentions and detainments, Amnesty International UK stated: “Last week, 179 healthcare workers from across the UK gathered outside St Thomas’ Hospital to demand freedom and justice for the 179 Palestinian healthcare workers who are detained without charge or trial by Israeli forces.

“Among those in secret detention is Dr. Khaled Al Serr, who was taken in March this year from Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. His family have yet to see him or hear from him.

“These healthcare heroes should be saving lives, not facing torture or being criminalised. We urgently call on the UK government to demand the Israeli authorities reveal the whereabouts of these healthcare workers and release them immediately.”
