Dr Abu Safiya, director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in North Gaza at the time, has been detained by Israeli military forces since 27 December 2024, under Israel’s unlawful combatant law, despite his status as a civilian medical practitioner. I have repeatedly stressed that this law violates human rights and humanitarian law. He has been systematically denied critical medical examination and treatment, and deprived of essential care to such an extent that his life, health, and wellbeing have been gravely endangered. He must be immediately released.
