Workers from Gaza have shared horrifying experiences after Israel abruptly revoked their work permits and detained them without charge. Following the events of October 7, thousands of Palestinians who were working in Israel were suddenly labeled as illegal and subjected to abuse and beatings. Tragically, two workers died while in prison. Although many have since been released and returned to Gaza, they are left uncertain about their future.
The distressing accounts of these workers shed light on the human rights violations and injustices they have endured.
