Rights Group Demands Release of Gaza's Dr. #HussamAbuSafiya After Israeli Court Extends Detention
“Dr. Abu Safiya is currently held in Negev #Prison under harsh conditions, without access to his medication or receiving medical treatment, despite the deterioration of his health,” said the Israeli-based Physicians for Human Rights #Israel.

A 2025 report from #AmnestyInternational, which has also called for his release, said that the Gaza-based physician “was detained in the course of caring for his patients and carrying out his #medical duties.”

Amnesty also noted that, prior to his detention, #AbuSafiya and other colleagues at the Kamal Adwan Hospital had “provided human rights and humanitarian organizations with reliable information about the #health situation” in #Gaza, which has been left devastated by years of Israeli attacks that have killed at least 72,000 Palestinians.
