The Palestinian Center for Prisoners Advocacy follows with deep concern the ongoing reports about the spread of scabies among the thousands of Palestinian detainees and prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons, which lack the most basic elements of human life and living conditions. This is part of the Israeli Prison Service\u2019s clear determination to turn these detention centers, prisons, interrogation centers, and holding facilities into certain places of death due to the policy of systematic medical neglect.<\/p>\n
The series of punitive measures imposed by the Prison Service on the prisoners, including the denial of the simplest natural rights of any human being, such as the prohibition of bathing, cutting off water supply, confiscating all personal hygiene items like soap, shampoo, and toothpaste, as well as preventing prisoners from getting haircuts or shaving, in addition to depriving them of personal clothing except for what they are wearing\u2014forcing the prisoner to wash it and wait for it to dry or wear it while it\u2019s still wet\u2014are all deliberate and systematic measures aimed at undermining the prisoner\u2019s resilience and spirit, stripping them of their human and personal identity, ultimately leading to a slow and silent death.<\/p>\n
The Palestinian Center for Prisoners Advocacy renews its call to the World Health Organization, M\u00e9decins Sans Fronti\u00e8res, and the International Committee of the Red Cross to intervene swiftly with medical and humanitarian assistance and find a solution to this worsening tragedy. Humanity as a whole is facing an ethical and moral test in the face of this horrifying situation for more than ten thousand prisoners inside Israeli occupation prisons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
