Do you remember him?
The heroic director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya — a historic symbol of courage, resilience, and humanity, shaped by the days and the hardships he endured.
They besieged him, injured him, pursued him, and threatened him.
His son, Ibrahim, was killed in an attempt to force the evacuation of Kamal Adwan Hospital. Dr. Hussam buried his son in the hospital courtyard, refused to abandon his patients, and returned to continue his medical and humanitarian duty.
He even refused to leave Gaza, despite holding another nationality along with his family.
He stood with a strength that even mountains could not withstand.
A kind heart.
An icon of resilience and integrity.
He was arrested and subjected to abuse after his voice grew hoarse from pleading with a silent world until the very end.
Free Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya.
This is a photograph of imprisoned doctor Hussam Abu Safiya beside his son Ibrahim, who was killed while we were under siege inside Kamal Adwan Hospital.
Today, Dr. Hussam remains detained in Israeli custody, facing ongoing allegations of torture and abuse. His family and supporters say this is the price he has paid for refusing to abandon his patients and continuing to provide medical care despite the siege, bombardment, and danger.
He was a doctor who carried a mission — and he paid for his commitment to that mission with his freedom, his safety, and the life he devoted to serving others.
His wife has made an urgent appeal to the world:
“Save my husband before it is too late. His only ‘crime’ was saving the wounded and treating the injuries of children.”

Do you remember Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya?
The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, who remained beside his patients despite the siege, bombardment, and danger. He lost his son Ibrahim, then returned to continue his medical duty.
Dr. Hussam was detained in December 2024, and since then, there have been continued calls for transparency regarding the conditions of his detention and for his release.
A doctor who chose to stay beside his patients paid a heavy price with his freedom and safety.
Freedom for Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya.
Safety and protection for all doctors and patients in Gaza.
