UK protesters demand release of Palestinian health workers in Israeli jails

Doctors and healthcare professionals have gathered in London to demand the release of hundreds of Palestinian medics currently held without charge or trial in Israeli jails.
This includes Dr Hussam Abu Safia, a prominent hospital director in Gaza, who was abducted by Israeli forces in December 2024.
Since then, he has been held in detention despite growing calls for his release and reports by his lawyer that was tortured in prison.
“The strategy of targeting healthcare workers and the whole hospital infrastructure is targeting what is sustaining life in Gaza,” said Dr Rebecca Inglis of Healthcare Workers Watch.
“So we know that our friends and colleagues in Gaza say that walking out in scrubs, in what I’m wearing right now, is the same as putting a target on their back.”
