Gaza, MINA – The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) on Monday urged Israel to release the director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya in Gaza.

“The Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza remains completely inoperative and we have received no update on the safety and well-being of its director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, since his arrest on 27 December,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus wrote in X, as quoted by Anadolu Agency.

“We continue to urge Israel to release him. We repeat: attacks on hospitals and health workers must stop. People in Gaza need access to health care,” Tedros added, reiterating his call for a ceasefire.

Abu Safiya was detained by Israeli forces along with others during a raid on the hospital on 27 December.
