66 dead among the prisoners and deliberate medical neglect of Ofer prisoners

The Prisoners Club said, today, Monday, that the number of martyrs among the prisoners and detainees whose identities are known since the beginning of the war of extermination has risen to (66) dead, including a child, and (40) martyrs from Gaza at least, after the announcement of the martyrdom of prisoner Muhyi al-Din Najm yesterday.


The Prisoners' Club confirmed in a statement that the occupation continues to conceal dozens of martyrs among the detainees in Gaza.


The Prisoners Club indicated that the martyr prisoner Najm is the (303) dead among the prisoners and detainees whose identities are known since 1967.


He pointed out that the occupation continues to detain the bodies of (75) dead, including (64) since the beginning of the war of extermination, while dozens of martyrs from Gaza detainees are still subject to enforced disappearance.


In the same context, the Commission of Prisoners' Affairs and Ex-Prisoners stated that "the administration of the occupation's Ofer prison continues to raid prisoners' rooms and oppress them, while deliberately neglecting their medical care."


The Commission's lawyer, following a visit to a number of prisoners there, reported that the prisoners are suffering from the quality and quantity of food, which remains poor and scarce, lacking sugar and salt. Repression units also raid their rooms, and recently, the "Matsada" units confiscated their mattresses and imposed punishments on them.


As for the break, the prisoners are denied it, often without reason, and it lasts for half an hour at six in the morning. They also suffer from a shortage of clothing.


The Authority’s lawyer visited a number of prisoners in Ofer prison, including administrative detainees: Qutaiba Samour from Tulkarm, who is in Section (19), Room (8), and has been suffering from itching in his body for about a month. He asked the prison administration several times to conduct tests for him, but to no avail. Abdullah Muhammad Saleh Manasra from Jenin, who is in Section (11), Room (15), and is 18 years old, suffers from toothache and sensitivity and needs ointment and treatment. He asked the prison administration to conduct tests for him, but to no avail. Sharaf al-Din Adel Muhammad Abu Dayeh from Halhul, who is in Section (25), Room (14), and has been suffering from vision problems before his arrest, and needs tests, but the Ofer prison administration refuses to conduct them.


The prisoner Muhammad Mahmoud Issa from Bethlehem, who is in Section (16) Room (12), also suffers from ear problems, fungal infections in his feet, and stomach problems, and he needs medication. These health problems occurred with him after his arrest, and the Ofer prison administration is deliberately neglecting him medically.
