Where is Gazan doctor Hussam Abu Safiya?

 Brought to you by

Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza, was repeatedly warned to evacuate during the war between Israel and Hamas, but chose to remain with his patients. In December 2024, he was arrested by the Israel Defence Forces. Seventeen months later, Amnesty International alleges that Dr. Abu Safiya has been tortured in detention, while the United Nations has called for his release. The IDF, meanwhile, says the doctor has ties to Hamas.
