Ramallah – Ma’an – The Commission of Prisoners’ Affairs and Ex-Prisoners said that prisoners in the so-called “Ramla Prison Clinic” are suffering from poor health conditions, in light of deliberate medical neglect and deprivation of medication and treatment.

The Commission cited in its report issued today, Sunday, two cases of prisoners who are suffering terribly inside the prison clinic, where a policy of slow killing is practiced against them, such as the case of prisoner Ibrahim Al-Na’anish from Tulkarm camp, who was arrested after being injured in an explosion by the Israeli occupation army, where he sustained severe injuries to the abdomen and back, and underwent surgery to cut part of his intestines. The prisoner still has many shrapnel in his body, resulting in him suffering from permanent ulcers in the back and foot area, and the prisoner does not feel his feet and moves around in a wheelchair.

As for the prisoner Muhammad Khudairat from the town of Dhahiriya in the Hebron Governorate, he has been s
uffering from cancer in the lymph nodes since 2009. On 02/05/2024, he underwent a bone marrow transplant and the prison administration must provide him with continuous doses of biologicals and medicine. However, since his arrest and until the visit yesterday, he has not been given anything. Despite the seriousness of his health condition, the prisoner was transferred to ‘Ofer Prison.’

The Commission warned of the international institutional and official failure towards Palestinian detainees in general and patients in particular, stressing the need for rapid and serious intervention to force the occupying state to abide by international laws and norms that concern their rights.

It is noteworthy that the number of sick detainees exceeded 800 detainees, including those suffering from cancer and tumors of varying degrees, in addition to dozens and hundreds of wounded people, and those who suffer from torture since October 7 until today.
