Hussam Abu Safiya

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan hospital in northern Gaza, has been detained by Israeli forces since late 2024. He has been held for over 500 days without formal charges. Recently, he was transferred to solitary confinement in a maximum-security prison without explanation, raising deep concerns for his wellbeing among his family. Dr. Abu Safiya's detention and current solitary confinement highlight the ongoing situation of Palestinians held without charge by Israeli forces. His case underscores broader issues surrounding the treatment of detainees and the lack of transparency in legal processes, particularly in the context of the ongoing conflict and the establishment of special military tribunals for those accused in relation to the October 7th events.
