Israeli NGO warns Gaza hospital director’s life is in danger in detention An Israeli medical NGO has warned that the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza faces a grave risk to his life after months in Israeli detention. Physicians for Human Rights Israel said Abu Safia’s lawyer, Nasser Odeh, visited him at the underground Rakefet interrogation facility in Nitzan Prison and reported a sharp decline in his health “to the point of tangible danger to his life”. The organisation called for his “immediate transfer from the facility and an urgent judicial visit to assess his condition – before it’s too late”.
