The Palestinian Prisoners Society warned of “a danger” to Dr Hussam Abu Safia, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, following the Israeli military’s denial of any records proving his arrest, Anadolu reports.

In a statement, the group said that Abu Safia “is one of thousands of detainees from Gaza facing the crime of enforced disappearance.”

The group said that “despite clear evidence of Dr Abu Safia’s arrest on Dec 27, 2024, the occupation is denying what it had previously stated and is also dismissing the evidence, including photos and videos it published as well as testimonies from some detainees who were released.”

It also reiterated its call for the “international human rights system to save what remains of its role amid the ongoing genocide, after its function has eroded due to a frightening state of impotence.”
