March 13, 2023

The Commission for Palestinian Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs warned today of the difficult health conditions experienced by prisoners in Israeli prisons and detention centers.

The authority stated, in a statement, that there are three prisoners in Al-Ramla prison who suffer from chronic and life-threatening diseases, as they face difficult health conditions, in light of the practices of the occupation prison administration.

In its statement, the Commission for Palestinian Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs stressed that sick prisoners suffer from a difficult and bitter reality, and many of them face willful medical neglect and procrastination in providing the required treatment.

On the other hand, Israeli occupation naval boats attacked fishermen’s boats operating in the sea of ​​Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian sources stated that the occupation navy soldiers stationed in gunboats in the sea of ​​Khan Yunis governorate targeted with fire and waste water the fishermen’s boats operating in the west of the governorate, adding that the intensity of the fire and the pumping of water forced the fishermen to leave the sea in order to preserve their lives.

On a daily basis, the Israeli occupation forces deliberately target Palestinian fishermen and their boats in the Gaza Strip, preventing them from practicing their profession.
