The Commission of Prisoners' Affairs and Ex-Prisoners stated that conditions for detainees in Megiddo Prison remain difficult and harsh, with food scarce and personal hygiene supplies lacking.
The Commission’s lawyer reported on Wednesday that detainee Naseem Hosni Hamad (26 years old), a resident of Sidon, northeast of Tulkarm, is in Section 2, Room 1, in Megiddo Prison. He was arrested on 12/21/2023 and suffers from dizziness and constant headaches. The prison administration is deliberately neglecting him medically and refusing to give him a painkiller or take him to the prison clinic. He has been infected with scabies for 15 months and has received treatment, but he still suffers as a result of the humidity, lack of ventilation, and lack of personal hygiene in the prison.
In his testimony before the Commission's lawyer, Hamad indicated that the break was supposed to last an hour, but was actually only half an hour, as the prison administration deducted a full half hour for the number of detainees, and the remainder was not enough for all the detainees to wash.
Regarding food, he said he lost 24 kilograms as a result of the systematic starvation policy in the occupation's prisons, where the food is poor and insufficient to satisfy hunger.
