Gaza hospital chief's health worsens after 555 days in Israeli detention

Hussam Abu Safia, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza, has deteriorated to a life‑threatening condition after more than 555 days in Israeli detention without charges, including a transfer to solitary confinement. Physicians for Human Rights Israel says he bears severe injuries and difficulty breathing, and UN experts have urged Israel to release him. He is one of 14 Palestinian doctors held without charge and is classified by Israel as an unlawful combatant.
