Hundreds of doctors, journalists and others are dying in Gaza, international bodies say, alleging they are being targeted by the Israeli military for doing their job.
"I shall do by my patients as I would be done by," reads the Hippocratic Oath taken by physicians before they begin practising.
The IDF media team said they were unable to "fully address" the inquiry related to Dr Eldalou because his ID number was not provided, in a response to detailed questions from the ABC. Another 128 healthcare workers are arbitrarily detained by Israeli forces, the World Health Organisation said in September, and at least 320 aid workers, including 230 UN staff, have been killed in Gaza,Even first responders pulling the injured and dead from rubble amid constant Israeli air strikes say they are under attack.
"Doctors ring me and call me saying they just want to die, they just want to have a peaceful death and be left alone," he told the ABC. Dr Mamode said he had been told by staff at the hospital of an Israeli assault in February 2024, during which many were detained and some died. "What's difficult to convey is that so many of the Palestinian staff and people — it's not as if they're concerned about being a target," Dr Mamode told the ABC.
Another three journalists were killed in southern Lebanon on October 25 after the Israeli military struck their guesthouse, with CPJ saying Israel had a "long-standing pattern of impunity in journalist killings" and alleging the Israeli military directly targeted them. "Those responsible for these casualties face dual trials: one under international law and another before history's unforgiving gaze."
