From the Quds News Network: "Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Dr. Marwan Al-Hams, two prominent Palestinian doctors abducted by Israeli forces from Gaza during the genocide, will not be released as part of the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement."

Gaza doctor given two spoonfuls of rice a day in Israeli jail

middleeasteye
A lawyer representing Palestinian Dr Hussam Abu Safiya has raised concerns over his deteriorating health and routine torture in Israeli detention, where inmates are given only two spoonfuls of rice a day.⁠
⁠
In an interview with Arab48, published Thursday, lawyer Gheed Kassem said that the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital had faced severe physical assault that resulted in bruising to his head, neck, rib cage, and back. ⁠
⁠
When Dr Abu Safiya requested medical assistance for complications stemming from the beatings, including an irregular heartbeat, his request was denied.⁠
⁠
Medical neglect and abuse in Israeli-run prisons have been well-documented, with such practices reportedly intensifying since the events of 7 October 2023.⁠
⁠
Abu Safya, who remains in solitary confinement at the Ofer military prison - which houses 450 detainees from the Gaza Strip - weighs no more than 60 kilograms, according to his lawyer. ⁠
⁠
She said that since his detention in late December, the senior paediatrician and neonatologist had lost 40 kilograms, describing his body as "emaciated." ⁠
⁠
Additionally, Dr Abu Safiya is held in an underground cell that is completely isolated and receives no natural light.⁠
⁠
"He knows nothing about the outside world, and he is still wearing winter clothes," Kassem explained.⁠
⁠
The lawyer described how Palestinians imprisoned there are allowed only two spoonfuls of rice a day, while both sugar and salt are completely banned "to prevent any rise in the happiness hormone, even a small one, from eating sugar".⁠
⁠
"This is in addition to the frequent cell raids, the torture, and the constant searches that prisoners are subjected to."⁠
⁠
Abu Safiya has been categorised as an "unlawful combatant" by Israeli authorities, despite him being a civilian doctor. This classification means there is no formal indictment against him.⁠

autistic people are also more prone to develop ptsd from situations that should not even be traumatic in the first place

one of the hardest things of being autistic is that you'll have a harder time dealing with tough times than allistic people, and you'll take a long time to recover after things calm down too. You can lose months and years to get stable again, especially if you reach burnout

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.
