Ramallah:Three Palestinian prisoners in Israel's Ofer prison are experiencing deteriorating health conditions due to inadequate medical care and living conditions, as reported by the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs.
According to Palestine news & Information Agency – WAFA – English, the commission has identified the prisoners as Kamal Fayed Hosni, Amir Daghra, and Adam Abu Obeid, all suffering from scabies and other health issues. Hosni's condition has persisted for over three months, with boils spreading across his body despite recent treatment. He also suffers from severe bone pain due to sleeping on the floor and worsening irritable bowel syndrome from poor-quality food.
Daghra has been affected by scabies for more than two months. Although he has received treatment, he still needs to complete it to avoid a relapse. Abu Obeid has been suffering from scabies for about six months, and while the prison administration provides some treatment for scabies, it has not addressed the widespread boils. Additionally, he has begun experiencing nervous convulsions, attributed by the prison to stress and treated only with sedatives.
The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs holds the Israeli Prison Service responsible for these conditions, warning of the ongoing deterioration of prisoners' health and living conditions.
