BREAKING: This is the first picture of Dr Abu Safiya in more than a year. Showing clear signs of abuse, the doctor who saved the lives of newborns in Gaza sat before the court in defiance as Israeli officials rushed to hide the image from reporters. VIJAYA, you have joined more than 600,000 people demanding his release. As these images go viral, help expose this abuse and raise the pressure on EU governments to act – share the campaign to free Dr Abu Safiya: Share now Here is the campaign to free Dr Abu Safiya and all of Gaza’s medics from last year: Dr Abu Safiya is a hero. He sacrificed everything to save lives in Gaza – and now Israel is holding him, and reportedly torturing him, without charges. Doctors around the world are rising to free him and other Gaza medics. Let’s join them: sign and share now to get them back home to their families: They killed his son. They bombed his hospital. They blocked the supplies he used to treat children screaming in pain. But he wouldn’t stop saving lives – until Israeli forces imprisoned and reportedly tortured him. Now he and about 90 other medics are being held in detention, many taken while caring for their patients. Five have reportedly died behind bars, and others are suffering assaults and beatings. As world leaders focus on the ceasefire plan, doctors across the globe are rising to demand freedom for their brave colleagues, so they can keep thousands of wounded children in Gaza alive. Let’s join them: add your name to call for the release of Dr Abu Safiya and his colleagues, who showed what humanity is capable of, and help bring them home to their families:

FREE Dr Abu Safiya
Dr Abu Safiya is a hero. He sacrificed everything to save lives in Gaza – and now Israel is holding him, and reportedly torturing him, without charges. Doctors around the world are rising to free him and other Gaza medics. Let’s join them: sign and share now to get them back home to their families:
FREE Dr Abu Safiya
Dear friends,
They killed his son. They bombed his hospital. They blocked the supplies he used to treat children screaming in pain.

But he wouldn’t stop saving lives – until Israeli forces imprisoned and reportedly tortured him.

Now he and about 90 other medics are being held in detention, many taken while caring for their patients. Five have reportedly died behind bars, and others are suffering assaults and beatings.

As world leaders focus on the ceasefire plan, doctors across the globe are rising to demand freedom for their brave colleagues, so they can keep thousands of wounded children in Gaza alive.

Let’s join them: add your name to call for the release of Dr Abu Safiya and his colleagues, who showed what humanity is capable of, and help bring them home to their families:
Life-saving work is protected under international law. Yet Israel has ignored this basic principle during the assault on Gaza: not only murdering tens of thousands of women and children but also decimating hospitals, bombing ambulances and killing more than 1500 health workers.

Like Dr Hussam Abu Safiya — who served as director of the last functioning hospital in North Gaza until it was raided — about 90 medical professionals remain imprisoned in Israel, many abducted on duty from hospitals and ambulances in Palestine.

Let's help keep Dr Abu Safiya’s story alive and help the world see the injustice faced by those who risked everything to save lives.

A global petition signed by hundreds of thousands from across the world can give strength to the push for their release, and public attention to keep fighting until Gaza's doctors are free. Join us today.
Despite the fragile ceasefire, which has been violated way too many times, Palestinians are still facing severe violence, along with daily repression and suffering under occupation and a system of apartheid. We cannot let leaders off the hook: the time for true healing, recovery, and the end of suffering has to begin now.

With relentless hope,

Julian, Mo, Harriet, Marco, Nadia, Liliana, Christoph and the whole Avaaz team
