We have two actions this week.

Urgent. Take action now. Demand the American Medical Association call for the immediate release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza.

Dr. Abu Safiya was abducted by Israeli forces and is reportedly being held in a detention center notorious for torture. This is part of a larger crisis—Israel has killed over 1,000 Palestinian healthcare workers and destroyed much of Gaza’s medical infrastructure, including Kamal Adwan Hospital, the last functioning hospital in northern Gaza.

We cannot stand by. Visit bit.ly/release-dr-hussam to make your voice heard.

In brighter news, we want to thank the 19 Senators who boldly voted to stop U.S. arms sales to Israel. Together with Win Without War, we are sending messages of gratitude to these senators for standing up for human rights. You can join us and send your message by clicking here.

Thank you for taking action to protect human rights and medical integrity.
