1,500 prisoners face cancer and kidney failure
The Palestinian Center for Prisoners' Studies warns of the deteriorating health conditions of approximately 1,500 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons. They suffer from serious illnesses such as cancer, kidney failure, heart diseases, and high blood pressure, along with neurological and psychological conditions. Medical neglect since October 2023, combined with overcrowding, food shortages, and lack of hygiene, has exacerbated their health issues and led to the spread of infections. The Israeli authorities refuse to transfer the sick to hospitals and use their treatment as a bargaining tool. The center explains that medical negligence is responsible for up to 50% of the death cases among prisoners and calls for urgent international action to ensure proper medical care, respect humanitarian principles, and adhere to the Geneva Convention to provide healthcare for the prisoners.
