"UN special rapporteurs Tlaleng Mofokeng and Ben Saul stated that Dr. Abu Safia's health condition remains dire, having been systematically denied critical medical examination and treatment."
"Abu Safia's arrest and detention are a reflection of Israel's systematic targeting of Palestinian health workers and the decimation of the healthcare system in Gaza."
"The UN experts emphasized that Abu Safia has suffered an arbitrary deprivation of liberty and a violation of his human rights, including the right to be free from torture."
Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, a Palestinian physician, is facing severe torture and denial of medical treatment in Israeli detention. UN experts report his health is dire due to systematic deprivation of essential care. Abu Safia was detained in December 2024 after refusing to abandon the last functioning hospital in northern Gaza during attacks. His detention reflects Israel's targeting of Palestinian health workers and the destruction of Gaza's healthcare system. The UN calls for his immediate release and access to medical care, urging international action against these human rights violations.
