MSF Demands Israel Release Detained Palestinian Healthcare Workers, Citing Torture of Hospital Director

MSF on July 20, 2026 demanded Israel release all arbitrarily detained Palestinian healthcare workers. Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, has been held without trial for over 18 months, classified as an "unlawful combatant," and reportedly tortured in solitary confinement. UN bodies and Physicians for Human Rights Israel have echoed the demand.
