Palestinian Prisoners Report Scabies in Damon Female Inmates
Cases of scabies (the scabies mite) have been reported among prisoners at Damoun Prison, with at least 10 female detainees confirmed infected out of more than 90 held. This is due to the poor health and humanitarian conditions inside the prisons, such as overcrowding, lack of cleaning supplies, and poor ventilation. The disease, which has been widely spreading since May 2024, poses a serious threat to the prisoners' lives, with some cases developing severe complications, including the death of one prisoner and the amputation of one of his limbs. Reports indicate that the Israeli prison administration continues to exploit these conditions as a systematic form of neglecting health needs, despite international and local efforts to provide treatment. This worsens the suffering of the prisoners and endangers their lives, highlighting the urgent need for intervention to halt the spread of the disease and improve healthcare conditions inside the prisons.
