In December 2024, Dr. Husam Abu Safiya was illegally abducted by the Israeli military after raiding his hospital, Kamal Adwan Hospital. This was one of the last functioning hospitals in Gaza, and Israel made sure to destroy it and kidnap its leadership so Palestinians could not be treated medically. Now, Dr. Husam Abu Safiya is locked away in one of Israel’s most dangerous prisons and is held with no charge.

What happened to Dr. Abu Safiya is a crime against humanity, and we must call on our institutions to speak out against the abuse of their own colleagues. The American Medical Association (AMA) has not done nearly enough to help release their medical professional colleagues.

Send a letter to the AMA Board of Trustees to demand that they help in the release of Dr. Abu Safiya!
