Scandalous.
18 months in arbitrary detention. No charge. No evidence. Torture attested by his lawyer, marks visible on his body.
And instead of covering this, @BBC amplifies Israel's unproven claims casting doubt on a hostage doctor.
>BBC's journalism in the time of genocide.
A doctor who saved lives in #Gaza is now fighting for his own.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya - detained without charges for over 500 days- is reportedly being tortured & at an imminent risk of death in Israeli detention.
Abu Safiya is among 14 Gaza doctors (pediatricians, surgeons & other specialists) who remain detained without charge, many for more than a year.
Their continued detention deprives patients of vital care & further undermines Gaza’s shattered healthcare system.
Their release is essential to saving lives + restoring Gaza’s shattered healthcare system.
