The Israeli justice system refused to allow an independent medical examination of the detained Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safia, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, despite the presence of "alarming" medical indicators.
The Israel Physicians Association for Human Rights reported on Wednesday in a statement that the Central Court in Lod refused to allow Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, who has been detained without charge or trial since December 27, 2024, to undergo an independent medical examination and receive a second medical opinion.
The association reported that "the records show that Abu Safia's weight dropped from 90 kg in January 2025 to 76 kg in May of the same year."
The medical opinion prepared by Professor Amit Tirosh also noted the low hemoglobin level in Abu Safia's blood and the failure to perform the necessary tests to verify the causes of the chest pains he complained about, in addition to the delay in diagnosing his condition with scabies, according to the association.
