Over 4500 Gazans has their work permits revoked and were rounded up by the Israeli military into what sound like concentration camps. Some have been released, but 4500 are still unaccounted for.

The Minister of Labour for the Palestinian Authorities, Dr Nasri Abu Jaish, told The Independent around 4,500 workers were still unaccounted for but are believed to have been detained by Israeli forces. Dr Jaish said he had met workers after some of them were released, sharing stories of alleged mistreatment.

Theyre being tortured, Dr Jaish said. Theyre beaten and scarves are tied around their eyes so they dont know where they are. Many of them are sick and they dont give them medicine. They dont give them water or food. Theyre in open-air camps and arent allowed to speak to each other.

Were told one person was killed as he tried to fight a soldier. They broke one workers jaw, another one his leg, another one his hands. Ive met them in hospital.

One worker, a cleaner in his 60s who did not wish to be named over fears for his safety, told The Independent he had been blindfolded with his hands and feet tied.

When the cancellation of work permits was announced, he and coworkers made their way to checkpoints in the West Bank where he says hundreds were arrested. He says they were placed on buses to be taken to camps in undisclosed locations.

We were blindfolded and had our hands and feet tied, he says. I wanted to die. Ive been working here for years and always get tips. Ive never done anything wrong and Ive never been involved in anything political, he says. They kept calling us Hamas and terrorists. It was absolutely humiliating.

We were kept in a dark room with hundreds of others and especially those under 30 were beaten badly and questioned. The elderly and those with diabetes were refused medication, food or water.
