Gaza. The bbc has seen evidence that doctors, nurses and other Hospital Staff were detained, beaten and prevented from carrying out vital medical duties when Israeli Forces overran the Nasser Hospital In Gaza last month. Weve also heard accusations that some detainees were stripped and kept in Stress Positions for several hours. Or had muzzled dogs set upon them.
