They killed his son. They bombed his hospital. They blocked the supplies he used to treat babies screaming in pain.

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

Now he and 95 other medics are being held without trial, even as other prisoners are released. Five have already died.

As world leaders focus on the ceasefire plan, doctors across the globe are rising up 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, who showed what humanity is capable of, and help bring this hero home to his family.
