Occupied Jerusalem-SANA
The Palestinian Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Authority has warned of the deterioration of the health status of prisoner Ibrahim Ghunaimat as a result of the arbitrary practices of the Israeli occupation against him, foremost of which is deliberate medical negligence.
Wafa news agency quoted the authority as saying in a statement today that the prisoner, 45, has suffered from a weak heart muscle and blockage of three arteries for four years, and he urgently needs to be transferred to the hospital, while the occupation authorities refuse to provide him with the necessary treatment.
About 5,000 Palestinian prisoners face harsh detention conditions, including 600 prisoners who need urgent medical intervention.
