The Euro-Med monitor for Human Rights reported that it had received testimonies regarding the Israeli occupation forces carrying out field executions against Palestinian civilian refugees inside the Al-Shifa Medical Complex in the city of Gaza as part of their ongoing military operations in the complex for the past two days.

Eyewitnesses among the refugees reported that they witnessed the Israeli forces taking 8 to 10 Palestinian civilians to the morgue area of the Al-Shifa Complex (the refrigerators of the dead), and then they heard intense gunfire before the occupation forces returned without those civilians.

The Euro-Med monitor expressed its concerns, in a statement on Tuesday, about the possible field executions of these civilians, expressing deep concern about the situation in the Al-Shifa Medical Complex and the imminent risks facing the civilians.

It confirmed that its field team gathered testimonies regarding the killing of 60 to 80 individuals by the Israeli forces’ gunfire inside the Al-Shifa Medical Complex and its surroundings since its reoccupation on Sunday/Monday night.

The Euro-Med monitor emphasized the necessity of protecting hospitals and medical facilities, and the need for the United Nations and relevant international organizations to take action to stop the grave Israeli assaults on hospitals in the Gaza Strip.
