Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital, has been imprisoned without charge in Israel for over 18 months, since his arrest by Israeli troops December 2024. Last week, his lawyer shared that Dr. Abu Safiya has experienced an increase in beatings, violence and torture inside Israeli prisons, with the 52-year-old pediatrician saying, “They brought me here to kill me. I don’t see myself surviving. This is the end."
