Dr Husam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, has been detained under extremely alarming conditions after being detained and taken to Israeli prisons in December after a brutal military campaign at major Gaza hospitals, Al Mayaden reported.
His lawyer, Gaida Qassem, detailed the province of Abu Safiya on Monday, reported that he lost at least 40 kilograms and fell to about 100-60 kg since being accused and imprisoned. According to Qasem, he also endured a brutal 30-minute be-strike targeting the chest, face, head and neck.
Despite suffering from irregular heartbeats, Israeli authorities denied him access to essential medicines, treatments and specialist doctors. According to the statement, he remains in winter clothes under extreme conditions of starvation, torture and total isolation.
