While it isn't clear exactly when the video was shot, the Israeli military confirmed Monday that it had detained and interrogated Abu Safiya.
Before his detention, Abu Safiya, a pediatrician, repeatedly warned about the IDF's raid on the hospital and how it endangered patients, including premature babies.
"We call for his immediate release," Ghebreyesus said, while noting that Abu Safiya’s “whereabouts are unknown.”Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya walking down a damaged street.
