Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, appeared via video link at an Israeli Supreme Court hearing in Jerusalem on Wednesday, demanding his immediate release after being held without charge by Israel since December 27, 2024. His family and lawyer report he exhibits visible signs of torture and medical neglect, including significant weight loss, skin disease, and untreated chronic back and neck pain. Held under Israel's "Unlawful Combatant Law," which allows indefinite detention without charges, Dr. Abu Safia's lawyer stated he remains in solitary confinement without necessary medical care. The court postponed a ruling on his continued detention, with a decision expected soon, amid international calls for his release.
