>> The legal team of Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, has revealed that Israeli prison authorities transferred him from the Negev detention facility to solitary confinement in Nafha Prison, where he is being held under harsh conditions and denied adequate medical care.

>> [Lawyer Nasser Odeh] explained that his solitary confinement is intended to cut Abu Safiya off from other prisoners, his lawyers, and the outside world, noting that the defense team has repeatedly been denied access to visit him without clear legal justification.

>> ... Abu Safiya is one of 737 healthcare workers arrested by Israel since the start of the genocidal war in #Gaza, including doctors, paramedics, and nurses.
