Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Palestinian Medic Who Survived Israeli Massacre of Medical Workers Released from Israeli Jail

HeadlineApr 30, 2025

Israel has released a jailed Gaza paramedic who survived a deadly attack on medical workers last month. Assaad al-Nassasra was among at least 10 Palestinians released from an Israeli prison into Gaza Tuesday — all of them in poor physical and psychological health, after they reported being tortured. Al-Nassasra was imprisoned without charge and held incommunicado for 37 days, after he survived the March 23 assault in which 15 of his fellow aid workers were killed by Israeli troops and buried in an unmarked mass grave — some of them bound and with gunshot wounds to the head and chest.
