Physicians for Human Rights Israel said the 14 doctors were detained without charge or trial, some for more than two years, as Gaza faces a shortage of medical personnel.

The group said Israel’s Supreme Court rejected the doctors’ release request. It also said Lod District Court denied a request for an independent medical examination and a second medical opinion for Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital.
