‘We want to know he’s safe’ — family awaits Israeli response on detained Gaza doctor after court order

DUBAI: The son of detained Gaza hospital director Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya said the family was “anxiously awaiting” Israel’s response to concerns over the doctor’s deteriorating condition in custody. Elias Abu Safiya’s remarks came after the Israeli Supreme Court on Sunday ordered the government to respond within two days to allegations that Abu Safiya has been subjected to torture and is facing life-threatening deterioration in prison. The court instructed the state to submit by Tuesday its response to a petition filed by Physicians for Human Rights Israel in April.
