Gaza Doctor Hussam Abu Safia's Life at Risk in Israeli Detention

Physicians for Human Rights Israel warns that Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza, is in grave danger after months in Israeli detention. His lawyer found his health severely deteriorated at Nitzan Prison. PHRI urges immediate transfer and medical assessment. Abu Safia was arrested in December 2024 for refusing Israeli orders to evacuate the hospital. His detention under Israel's "Unlawful Combatant Law" removes Geneva Convention protections.
