Heartbreaking
This is absolutely devastating. Holding a doctor without charge for 18 months in such conditions is beyond comprehension. How can the international community stay silent?
Palestinian Prisoners’ Society voices concern over detained Gaza hospital director’s condition
TEL AVIV: The lawyer for a prominent Palestinian doctor who was seized by Israeli forces 18 months ago said his client has been abused in captivity and is in critical condition, according to the human rights group representing him. Hussam Abu Safiya, who served as director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, became the face of health workers struggling to treat patients throughout the Israel-Hamas war. He led the facility through an 85-day siege by the Israeli military, releasing videos in which he pleaded for help before he was arrested in December 2024. He has not been charged.
