Transmitting disease and preventing treatment... Israeli occupation prisons are killing Palestinian prisoners.

The Palestinian Commission of Prisoners' Affairs has documented testimonies from inside Israeli prisons indicating that prison guards deliberately transmit diseases to prisoners and refuse to treat them.

The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)-affiliated body said in a statement on Sunday that "the Israeli prison administration continues to commit crimes against prisoners, with the fate of more than 10,000 prisoners, including women and children, at risk."

Among the testimonies documented by the Commission through its legal team is the case of prisoner Hassan Imad Abu Hassan from the town of Yamoun, west of Jenin, in the northern occupied West Bank.

She explained that Abu Hassan "has been suffering from scabies for more than three months, because the jailers forced him, on the first day of his detention, to sleep on a bed belonging to a prisoner with scabies."

"Prisoner Alaa Al-Adam, from the town of Beit Ula, west of Hebron, also suffers from a skin allergy in the thigh area and severe itching as a result of skin diseases that he has not received the necessary treatment for his condition."

The Commission also documented the case of prisoner Bilal Amro from the town of Dura, south of Hebron (south), in Ofer Prison, west of Ramallah (center).

She reported that Amr "suffers severe pain in his back and foot due to the presence of platinum" used to stabilize broken bones.

"Amr repeatedly asked the prison administration to provide the necessary painkillers to relieve his pain, but to no avail. He also suffers from severe visual impairment," the statement said.

On Thursday, the Palestinian Prisoners' Affairs Authority and the Palestinian Prisoners' Club (PPC) released a joint statement revealing testimonies from prisoners revealing that they were subjected to physical and psychological torture, including forced drinking and pouring hot water over their bodies.

Since Tel Aviv began its war of extermination in the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, numerous Palestinian prisoners have been killed in Israeli prisons as a result of torture, starvation, and medical neglect, according to Palestinian and Israeli human rights and media reports.

More than 10,800 Palestinians are languishing in Israeli prisons, including approximately 450 children, 50 female prisoners, and 3,629 administrative detainees without charge, according to official Palestinian data that does not include the thousands of cases of "enforced disappearance" of prisoners from Gaza.

This comes as Israel has been waging a genocidal war in Gaza since October 7, 2023, including killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt the offensive.

The genocide, backed by the United States, left more than 204,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 9,000 missing. Hundreds of thousands were displaced, and a famine claimed the lives of many, including dozens of children.

In parallel with the annihilation of Gaza, the Israeli army and settlers in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, killed at least 1,008 Palestinians, injured nearly 7,000, and arrested more than 18,000, according to Palestinian data.

For decades, Israel has occupied Palestine and territories in Syria and Lebanon, and refuses to withdraw from these territories and establish an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, along the pre-1967 borders.
