Three prisoners in Gilboa Prison are suffering from critical health conditions.

The Palestinian Prisoners' Affairs Authority said that three prisoners in Gilboa Prison are suffering from critical health conditions.

In a statement issued Monday after her lawyer visited a number of prisoners in Gilboa prison, the organization explained that prisoner Munir Salama, 25, from Jenin camp, has not been sentenced and remains detained. He has been suffering from scabies for about four months, which causes large boils to appear on his body, and he needs immediate treatment.

Meanwhile, prisoner Samer Qambe’ (30 years old) from Jenin, who is currently detained, suffers from pain in his left ear extending to his neck, reaching the palm of his left hand, which sometimes causes him to lose feeling in his hand. He was wearing a brace that extended over his arm, and the day before the visit, a special unit stormed the room where he was being held, assaulted him, and seized the brace. He also complains of severe toothache.

Prisoner Ibrahim Ramadi (32 years old) from Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood/Jerusalem, has also been suffering from scabby skin for about two months. The disease has reached an advanced stage, with boils appearing on his knees, and especially eczema on his hands. This is due to dirty clothes, which they do not wash regularly, because using the washing machine is linked to going out for a walk and the time required for that is not enough. The washing machine is also broken. Prisoner Ramadi has also been suffering from water on the heart since he was young, and he needs to take special medication for his condition, but the prison administration does not provide it for him. In addition, he suffers from migraines that accompany him most of the time, and from severe pain in the tendons of his left hand.
