Israel must immediately release Dr. Hossam Abu Safia, a Palestinian humanitarian aid worker unjustly arrested and detained by Israeli forces. His arbitrary detention violates international laws and conventions that Israel has ratified. Dr. Abu Safia is the director of Health Work Committees, an esteemed Palestinian NGO providing vital health services to vulnerable populations in the occupied Palestinian territories. His continued imprisonment constitutes a grave violation of human rights and threatens to disrupt essential healthcare access for thousands of Palestinians. As a respected medical professional dedicated to alleviating suffering, Dr. Abu Safia's detention is unjustifiable and amounts to collective punishment of the Palestinian people he serves. His immediate and unconditional release must be secured to uphold human rights and humanitarian principles.
