"Physicians for Human Rights-Israel stated that the continued detention of doctors is hindering efforts to rehabilitate Gaza's healthcare system and called on international actors to show solidarity in pushing for their release."
"Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, was detained in December 2024 when Israeli forces stormed the facility, then the last functioning hospital in northern Gaza."
"United Nations experts have warned that Safia has been subjected to severe torture, while Amnesty International said his detention forms part of a broader pattern by Israel aimed at dismantling Gaza's healthcare system."
Physicians for Human Rights Israel has petitioned the Supreme Court for the release of 14 detained doctors from Gaza, held without charge for over a year. The organization claims that the ongoing detention of these medical professionals is severely hindering the rehabilitation of Gaza's healthcare system, which has been systematically destroyed during the conflict. Among the detained is Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, who has reportedly suffered significant health issues while in custody. International calls for solidarity to secure their release have been made amid warnings of a critical medical supply shortage in Gaza.
