Hussam Abu Safiya, a Palestinian doctor detained for eighteen months, is critically ill in Israeli custody after lawyers and Physicians for Human Rights Israel say he suffered severe beatings and head injuries.Lawyer Nasser Odeh and rights groups say Dr. Abu Safiya was moved between detention centers including Rakefet and Nitzan, held without charge under the Unlawful Enemy Combatants Law, and appeared gaunt and breathing with difficulty during a recent Israeli Supreme Court video session.The
Israeli Prison Service denies abuse allegations and says detainees receive appropriate medical care, while advocates demand transfer to a medical facility, release or urgent treatment as thousands have been detained since the war and the
Gaza Health Ministry reports more than 73,000 Palestinian deaths.
