Palestinian medical staff in Gaza have told the BBC they were blindfolded, detained, forced to strip and repeatedly beaten by Israeli troops after a raid at their hospital last month.

The Israeli Defense Forces denied that medical staff were harmed during their operation. They said that "any abuse of detainees is contrary to IDF orders and is therefore strictly prohibited".

The IDF raided Nasser hospital in the southern Gazan city of Khan Younis - which was one of the few in the Strip still functioning - on 15 February.

They said intelligence indicated that the hospital housed Hamas operatives.

They also said Israeli hostages taken by Hamas on 7 October had been held there - and some of the hostages themselves have publicly said they were kept at the hospital.

Hamas has denied that its fighters operate inside medical facilities.
