Occupied Jerusalem - SANA
The Prisoners and Executives Affairs Authority has warned of the deterioration of the health condition of Palestinian prisoners, especially the sick and the hunger strikers, in the Israeli occupation prisons, due to the deliberate medical negligence of their rights and the failure to provide them with the necessary treatment.
The commission stated in a statement today, reported by Wafa news agency, that the prisoners in the occupation prisons are suffering from harsh conditions of detention in light of the lack of health care and any living and humanitarian necessities, pointing out that a number of them went on hunger strike last week due to the brutal practices of the occupation authorities against them.
About five thousand Palestinian prisoners inside the Israeli occupation prisons face harsh detention conditions, as 1,800 prisoners suffer from multiple diseases due to the spread of epidemics and germs, and among them about 700 prisoners need urgent treatment, especially cases of cancer, kidney failure and paraplegia.
