Fears for imprisoned Gaza doctor Hussam Abu Safiya

Gaza doctor Hussam Abu Safiya, who was arrested by Israeli forces in late December 2024 after the siege of Kamal Adwan hospital in Beit Lahiya, is reportedly in critical condition while detained in an Israeli prison. His lawyers allege he has been severely beaten by prison guards and is at risk of death. According to advocacy group Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI), Abu Safiya was seen with serious injuries during a recent visit by his lawyer, who described him as frightened and close to losing consciousness. The doctor claims he has been subjected to daily beatings in the Rakefet facility since June 24, 2026, and fears for his life. The Israeli Prison Service denied the allegations, calling them false and refusing to comment on his specific condition.
