Amnesty International has called for the immediate release of Palestinian paediatrician Hussam Abu Safiya, who completed 600 days in Israeli detention this week, Middle East Eye reported. Abu Safiya, who served as director of Shifa Hospital in Gaza, was arrested during Israel's military operations in the enclave following the October 2023 escalation.
The human rights organization's demand underscores mounting concern over the physician's prolonged incarceration without clear resolution. Abu Safiya's case has drawn international attention amid broader questions about detention practices and legal procedures applied to Palestinians held by Israeli authorities during the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
