Palestine Center Highlights Medical Neglect of Over 1,500 Prisoners
The Palestinian Center for Prisoners Studies has affirmed that medical neglect in Israeli occupation prisons is a systematic policy leading to the slow death of dozens of prisoners. More than 1,500 prisoners suffer from poor health conditions, ranging from serious illnesses such as cancer, kidney failure, and heart disease. The severity of these conditions worsened after October 2023, as prisoners were deprived of medical treatment and follow-up care, with authorities refusing to transfer critical cases to hospitals. Additionally, there is a practice of bargaining with injured inmates, offering treatment in exchange for concessions, along with poor nutrition that weakens immunity and facilitates the spread of infectious diseases. This neglect has resulted in at least 50% of the prisoners who have died since 1967 being among the martyrs of the prisoner movement. It is the second leading cause of death after torture, accounting for 92 deaths since October 2023. The center calls for an urgent improvement of prisoners' health conditions to prevent the continuation of these systematic policies that directly threaten prisoners' lives.
