MSF Demands Release of Detained Palestinian Healthcare Workers, Citing Torture

MSF on July 20, 2026 demanded Israel release all arbitrarily detained Palestinian healthcare workers. Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, who directs Kamal Adwan Hospital, has been held without trial for over 18 months under an "unlawful combatant" classification — a designation bypassing standard detainee protections — and reportedly tortured in solitary confinement. UN bodies and Physicians for Human Rights Israel have echoed the demand.
