Activists and medical teams continue to protest in various US cities, calling for the immediate release of all Palestinian healthcare workers detained by Israeli occupation authorities, particularly those from hospitals destroyed by Israeli forces in northern Gaza, Wafa reports.

Hundreds participated in a march through the streets of Washington DC, urging policymakers and President Joe Biden’s administration to take urgent action.

The protesters demanded that the US exert pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right government to release Palestinian medical doctors and healthcare staff who were abducted while fulfilling their humanitarian duties, treating civilians, the wounded, and the sick.
