NEW YORK CITY: UN experts on Tuesday called on Israel to immediately release Palestinian physician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and all health and care workers held in what they described as arbitrary detention. The experts said Abu Safiya’s continued detention without charge or trial reflects Israel’s systematic targeting of Palestinian health workers and the continued destruction of Gaza’s health system, aimed at inflicting conditions leading to the mental and physical destruction of Palestinians.

It’s been more than 1,000 days of genocide and 500 days of Abu Safia’s detention. We need urgent action to end both.
