Fresh concerns have emerged over the health of Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safiya, former director of Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital, who has been detained by Israel since December 2024 without formal charges. According to medical records reviewed by an independent Israeli professor, his weight has dropped from 90kg to 76kg, alongside chest pain, dizziness, bruising and untreated scabies. Physicians for Human Rights Israel has demanded an independent medical examination, warning that his condition could be life-threatening. However, an Israeli district court recently rejected the request. Israel maintains that its prison authorities operate lawfully. (PC: Getty Images)
