Palestinian Prisoners Report Female Detainee Scabies Outbreak
The case of several Palestinian female prisoners infected with scabies at Damoun Prison in Israel reveals the widespread outbreak of the disease due to harsh health and humanitarian conditions inside the prisons, such as high humidity, shortages of cleaning materials, overcrowding, and lack of ventilation. Human rights organizations have confirmed that these conditions have led to the spread of the illness since May 2024, despite efforts to provide treatment. The infected prisoners suffer from ulcers, infections, and constant pain, with some cases being severe, including amputated limbs and damage to the organs and nervous system. The organization issued a call for an international investigation and accountability for those responsible, warning that the continued spread of the disease represents a health and humanitarian crisis requiring urgent intervention to ensure the prisoners' rights to treatment and care.
