The Prisoners’ Media Office said that on July 27, 2026, Dr. Abu Safiya was subjected to the most violent crackdown since his arrest, describing it as “the hardest of his life in prison.” Last month, the incarcerated doctor appealed to his lawyer to “do everything possible to get me out of this place,” having told him during an earlier visit: “This is the last time you will see me… They brought me here to kill me.” He is currently being held at the underground Rakefet dungeon, where he was transferred on June 24. “Serious concerns are mounting over the life and health of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, amid reports that he has been assaulted in detention and sustained injuries to his eye, head, and chest,” Dr. al-Boursh wrote. “If these reports are coupled with continued detention and the absence of independent medical assessment and adequate care, his condition becomes a matter of grave concern requiring immediate action — not delayed statements. “Dr. Abu Safiya remained beside his patients at Kamal Adwan Hospital through some of Gaza’s darkest days. Today, he is behind bars, deprived of his freedom, while concerns over his physical safety and conditions of detention continue to grow.” Dr. al-Boursh continued, “The irony is devastating: “The doctor who protected his patients’ lives under bombardment is now the one who needs protection. “The physician who once stood between death and his patients now needs the world to stand between him and danger.” ‘The world doesn’t see us as human beings’: Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s son urges action to save his father ‘The world doesn’t see us as human beings’: Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s son urges action to save his father Palestine Will Be Free · Jul 8 Read full story Dr. Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, refused to give in to the Israeli demands and kept the hospital running during the barbaric Generals’ Plan, under which the Israelis intended to evacuate all residents from northern Gaza. The hospital became a refuge for not only the patients but also residents with nowhere to go. The doctor also documented Israeli attacks on the hospital through his social media accounts. He was eventually abducted with other hospital staff after the Israelis forced the evacuation of the hospital on December 27, 2024. He has since spent nearly 600 days in detention without being charged or tried. To support my work, please consider becoming a paid subscriber.

Time is not a minor detail here: every hour of delay may place his life at greater risk. “The world must not wait for another tragic announcement before issuing statements of regret — when intervention may already be too late. “Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya is not merely a number on a list of detainees. He is a physician, a human being, and one of the voices of Gaza’s healthcare system. “Save Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya before it is too late. “Freedom for Dr. Abu Safiya and for all detained healthcare workers.” Share I’ve never put up a paywall, but this newsletter wouldn’t be possible without your support.

Hello my dear friend, I hope you and your loved ones are safe and well. I’m writing again because life here in Gaza has become even more difficult, and this month support has been very limited while our needs continue to grow. Although the rain has stopped, the cold has become harsher. The freezing wind cuts through our tent day and night, making it almost impossible to stay warm. The children shiver at night, and we struggle daily just to protect them from the cold and keep them healthy. Everyday life here is about survival finding warmth, food, and basic necessities, and trying to hold on with dignity. We are doing everything we can, but the situation is overwhelming. Any support whether through donating, sharing our campaign, or keeping us in your prayers can make a real difference for us during this difficult time.

My immediate family, including me, my wife, our four children, dad, mom, sister and brother, ran first to my uncle's house outside Shuja'iya and then to the Arab National Hospital, which was also bombed. We miraculously escaped death. After the bombing of the hospital, numerous confrontations with death, we fled to Rafah. I was working in a Saudi online marketing company and with other companies as a graphic designer. I was outstanding in my work and had many happy clients when the genocide started. Since our house was bombed, I lost my laptop and then my customers, my source of income. I have no money to buy another device. More than two years of fear and...
