World Health Organisation Secretary-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has urged Israel to release Dr Hussam Abu Safia, director of the key hospital in northern Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.
“Kamal Adwan Hospital in North Gaza remains completely out of function and we have received no updates on the safety and wellbeing of its director Dr Hussam Abu Safia since his detention on 27 December,” he posted on X.
“We continue to urge Israel to release him. We repeat: attacks on hospitals and health professionals must end. People in Gaza need access to health care,” he added, repeating his call for a ceasefire.
