Damoun Prison Female Prisoners' Scabies Records
The Prisoners' Club has confirmed that scabies (the scabies mite) is spreading dangerously among female prisoners in the Israeli occupation prisons. At least 10 female prisoners have been diagnosed out of more than 90 detainees, including pregnant women, young girls, and prisoners suffering from chronic health issues. The spread of the disease is linked to the poor health and humanitarian conditions inside the prisons, such as high humidity, shortage of cleaning supplies, overcrowding, lack of ventilation, and insufficient clothing, all of which have worsened the prisoners' health. The current environment is conducive to the continued spread of the disease, especially as medical efforts have declined over more than two years despite appeals from human rights organizations and legal action to assist. A severe example is the case of child Muhammad Humaid, who underwent amputation due to a scabies infection, while many other prisoners continue to suffer from the disease for months without proper treatment. The club affirms that the outbreak and the transformation of the disease into a health hazard could lead to serious complications and potentially death. It calls on the international community to intervene urgently to halt medical misconduct and provide the necessary health care, warning against exploiting diseases as a means of torture and neglecting prisoners' health rights.
