Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya ran one of Gaza's last hospitals. He refused to leave his patients even after Israel killed his own son in a drone strike.
Israel kidnapped him for it. 18 months in detention, tortured and beaten, for the crime of running a hospital.
He must be released.
Today we issued an emergency appeal to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, asking him to secure the immediate and unconditional release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, a prominent Palestinian pediatrician who is facing an imminent threat to his life while in Israeli detention. https://t.co/bqMIq7O8lv
🚨#BREAKING: Firefighters in Wisconsin are hailing 5 teenage boys as HEROES after they BUSTED DOWN A DOOR TO A BURNING HOME to save a 91-year-old elderly couple and their family on July 4th.
When firefighters arrived, they discovered the boys had already rescued ALL SIX PEOPLE inside the home.
According to investigators, the boys noticed what they thought was a bonfire from their home.
As they walked closer, they saw a home was on fire and started banging on the doors and windows and heard people yelling.
The group of boys BROKE DOWN THE DOOR, ran into the home, called out for the victims and rescued all them.
“We started calling out for people and asking if anybody was in there. And then we ended up getting quite a bit of responses. There ended up being five or six people in the house..."
"...you are kind of just feeling around, yelling, and then I heard a couple in the room on the left. So I went in there and got them out."
As the last person stepped out of the home, the flames intensified.
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!
Man shares footage of himself while he was trapped during the evacuation of Rafah and trying to reach safety. The IDF forces surrounded him and some other trapped people, opened fire, and killed all his friends who were with him.
He was injured in his leg, took cover behind a vehicle, and remained there for more than 7 hours until the shooting stopped and he was evacuated by some people who were passing through the same area fleeing from the occupation soldiers.
Israel has killed 10 more people today in Gaza. Including a @WCKitchen driver. Ahmad Nasser Saleem was taking food to hungry people. He is the eleventh World Central Kitchen worker to be killed by Israel.
A new disaster is unfolding in Gaza.
More than 9,300 cases of Varicella Zoster Virus have been reported in Gaza within just two weeks.
The situation is extremely dangerous, with most cases affecting children. The virus is spreading rapidly inside tents due to overcrowding, lack of clean water, and poor hygiene conditions.
Children are suffering from severe skin rashes and painful itching, causing their skin to become red and inflamed from intense scratching, while most of them have no access to treatment or proper medical care.

🚨 New Legal Development: Critical Questions Remain Unanswered in the State’s Response Regarding Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya.
The Israeli authorities have submitted their response to the High Court regarding the petition seeking the release of 14 detained Palestinian doctors from Gaza, including my father, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya.
While the State says he has undergone several medical examinations since being transferred to the underground “Rakefet” detention facility, it does not explain why these examinations were necessary, what they revealed, or respond to most of the serious allegations documented by his lawyer, including visible injuries, the deterioration of his condition, and allegations of repeated beatings.
His lawyer’s request for a second visit also remains unanswered, while access to his medical records and an independent medical examination continues to be denied.
At the same time, the State has asked the Court to dismiss the petition without a hearing, while 14 Palestinian doctors from Gaza remain detained without charge or trial.
The key questions remain unanswered, and transparency and accountability are more urgent than ever.
Those who spent time with Dr Hussam Abu Safiya describe systematic beatings, dog attacks, and medical neglect — he now weighs only 40kg https://t.co/KnjcZ6x08c
Israel holds thousands of Palestinian hostages in the most well-documented network of rape dungeons on earth.
Mainstream media ignores their plight because they are Palestinian, rather than Jewish, hostages.
A few days ago, Dr Hussam Abu Safiyeh (@dr.hussam73) said these words to his lawyer: “This is the last time you will see me...they brought me here to kill me. I don't see myself surviving. This is the end”.
