The Palestinian Prisoners' Affairs Commission stated on Wednesday that it has been monitoring the humanitarian and health conditions of several prisoners in Gilboa Prison, where the policy of starvation continues, coupled with deliberate medical neglect of sick prisoners.
In a statement carried by the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA), the Commission explained that the prisoners' testimonies are similar despite the different places of detention. Following a visit by the Commission's lawyer to Gilboa Prison, it confirmed that prisoner Younis Jalal Younis Hilan (21 years old) from the town of Hajja, Qalqilya, suffers from scabiei and has lost 10 kilograms due to malnutrition. He was arrested on October 25, 2022, and has not yet been sentenced. Meanwhile, prisoner Ahmed Rabih Subhi Saber (33 years old) from Nablus, who has been detained since March 1, also suffers from scabiei and has not received treatment. He has lost approximately 40 kilograms due to malnutrition.
As for the two prisoners, Ahed Abu Ghalma and Ibrahim Ghneimat, they are suffering from very severe cases of scabiei, with the disease spreading extensively and noticeably across their bodies, without receiving any treatment whatsoever. This serves as a stark example of deliberate medical neglect in the occupation's prisons.
According to the statement, the general conditions inside the prison are characterized by a severe shortage of clothing, widespread scabiei, malnutrition, weight loss, poor quality and insufficient food, and a reduction in the duration of the exercise period, sometimes even denying it altogether. In the best-case scenario, this period does not exceed one hour per day, which negatively impacts their physical and mental health.
