Dr Hussam Abu Safia’s Family Demand His Release From Israeli Prison
Exactly one year after Israeli forces kidnapped Kamal Adwan Hospital director Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, relatives and health officials renewed demands for his release on 27 December, citing his deteriorating health.
The anniversary prompted statements from Gaza authorities and international rights groups calling for disclosure of his fate and an end to his arbitrary detention.
Occupation forces took Dr. Abu Safia on 27 December 2024 during a military raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia.
At the time, the hospital was the last operational medical center serving northern Gaza. Witness accounts said he was detained while actively carrying out his medical duties.
