About 370 Palestinian children in detention
The Palestinian Center for the Defense of Prisoners reveals that approximately 370 Palestinian children remain in Israeli occupation prisons, with the majority detained in Megiddo and Ofer prisons. They face harsh detention conditions that disregard their basic needs. Israeli authorities recorded 276 cases of child arrests in the West Bank and Jerusalem during the first half of 2026, with reports of children being physically assaulted, restrained, threatened, and deprived of food and water, in addition to extreme psychological pressure. Sick children also suffer from delays in care and malnutrition, putting their health at risk. The continued detention of these children is considered a violation of their fundamental rights. The center calls for the protection of children and the provision of necessary care for them.
