Dozens of Palestinians, during a solidarity stand in Bethlehem in the West Bank today, called on the international community and human rights and humanitarian institutions to take urgent action to save the lives of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons.

According to Wafa Agency, during the weekly sit-in in front of the Red Cross office in Bethlehem, the participants affirmed their continued solidarity with the prisoners in light of the violations and brutal practices they are subjected to in the occupation detention centers, amid deliberate medical neglect against them.

The participants stressed the need to put pressure on all parties and levels to release sick prisoners, especially the sick prisoner Nasser Abu Hamid, who suffers from a serious health condition as a result of cancer.

About 5,000 Palestinian prisoners inside Israeli jails face harsh detention conditions, including about 600 prisoners who need urgent medical intervention.
