Footage released of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya for the first time since his arrest

Israeli media has released footage of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, Director of Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital, in Ofer prison for the first time since his arrest in December.

Abu Safiya is regarded as one of the most prominent doctors who continued working under Israeli bombardment to save wounded Palestinians in northern Gaza.

In late December, Israeli forces stormed Kamal Adwan Hospital, arrested Abu Safiya at gunpoint, and destroyed the hospital, taking it out of service.

According to his family, Abu Safiya was subjected to severe torture and starvation inside Israeli prisons—a claim confirmed by a lawyer who recently visited him.
