The Palestinian Prisoner Affairs and Human Rights Commission has reported a continuous decline in the health and living conditions of Palestinian prisoners held at Ofer Prison. The commission cited ongoing medical neglect, malnutrition, frequent raids on prison sections, and deprivation of basic necessities as key factors contributing to this deterioration.
According to the commission's statement, sick prisoners are experiencing difficulties in accessing necessary medications and treatment, while skin diseases are reportedly spreading, exacerbating health risks within the detention environment. The commission also highlighted that prisoners are suffering from poor quality and insufficient food rations, warning of the negative impact on their health and ability to endure detention conditions.
Furthermore, the commission stated that frequent raids on prisoner cells and sections are accompanied by physical assault, abuse, and humiliation, intensifying the prisoners' physical and psychological suffering. These conditions extend beyond health and nutrition, encompassing a shortage of clothing and blankets, a lack of cleaning and hygiene supplies, and reduced time for recreation and showering.
The commission has called on the relevant authorities to address the prisoners' situation, ensure they receive adequate medical care, medication, food, and hygiene supplies, and to put an end to practices that worsen their suffering in prison.
