A Palestinian authority warns of the repercussions of Israel's denial of treatment for 3 detainees.

The Palestinian Authority for Prisoners and Released Prisoners warned on Sunday of the repercussions of the Israeli 'Gilboa' prison administration's denial of treatment to three Palestinian detainees.

This came in a statement from the authority after its lawyer visited several sick Palestinian prisoners in the prison located in northern Israel.

The authority stated that 'the prisoner Bilal Othman (48 years old) from the town of Beit Rima, northwest of Ramallah (northern West Bank), suffers from chronic kidney disease and has one kidney due to an injury sustained in 1994. He complains of blood clotting and gout.'

It explained that Othman, 'who has been detained since 2002 and sentenced to 15 life sentences and an additional 35 years, contracted scabies and suffers from severe itching, and boils have begun to appear. The prison administration refuses to provide him with the necessary treatment.'

The authority pointed out that 'prisoner Othman was burned by the guards, as hot water was poured on his left hand. He also suffers from a broken ring finger on his left hand, as the prison's suppression unit stormed the room, beat everyone inside, and struck him with an iron rod on his back, legs, and arms, which led to his finger being broken, and no treatment was provided to him.'

It highlighted the suffering of prisoner Muhammad Daraghmeh (34 years old) from Tubas, who suffers from scabies and severe itching, and complains of pain from herniated discs in his back and neck, having lost about 15 kilograms of weight.

It stated that prisoner Muhammad Sarhan (25 years old) from the Far'a camp south of Tubas, who is held administratively, suffers from scabies, severe itching, and the spread of boils in various parts of his body.

On Wednesday, the Palestinian Prisoners' Club stated that Israeli prison administrations have expanded their use of electric shocks and rubber bullets against Palestinian prisoners in their jails, amid the spread of scabies in the Negev and Ofer prisons.

This came in a statement from the club, based on visits conducted by its lawyers to dozens of Palestinian prisoners, including children and women, in seven Israeli prisons during the first half of September.

Following visits to more than 20 detainees in the Negev prison, the club stated that 'most of them either contracted scabies and are still suffering from its effects, or have relapsed after recovery.'

Alongside the genocide in Gaza, the Israeli army has intensified its operations in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, while Israeli settlers have escalated their attacks, resulting in the deaths of at least 1,042 Palestinians and injuries to about 10,160 others, in addition to the arrest of more than 19,000, according to official Palestinian data.

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in 65,283 deaths and 166,575 injuries, most of whom are children and women, along with a famine that has killed 442 Palestinians, including 147 children.
