Hospitals, doctors and nurses have long been protected under international law.
But in Gaza, most of the territory's 36 main hospitals have now been attacked or destroyed.
Gaza: Doctors Under Attack is an investigation into the impact of war on Gaza's health system and the treatment of its medical staff.
Israel says it's justified in attacking the hospitals as Hamas uses them for military purposes.
The documentary draws on testimony from Palestinian health workers, witness accounts, and official reports from human rights agencies, to examine allegations of attacks, detainment and mistreatment.
At its core are the personal stories of doctors trying to treat patients under extraordinary conditions.
One doctor survived strikes that killed his family, only to be detained while continuing his work. Another doctor, a senior medic, died in custody.
Directed by Karim Shah, Ramita Navai and Ben de Pear, and reported by Emmy award-winning journalist Ramita Navai for Basement Films and Channel 4.
It presents a rare and detailed account of the toll of the conflict on Gaza's hospitals and the doctors within them, confronting urgent questions about the rules of war.
