Ramallah:Three minor female detainees are currently held in Israeli prisons, as reported by the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs. These minors, identified as Nada Odeh, Ola Qatishat, and Rimas Dweikat, are among a total of 90 female detainees.
According to Palestine news & Information Agency – WAFA – English, a recent report from the Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS) highlighted that approximately 80% of the detainees, including children, are suffering from scabies. This condition is exacerbated by the lack of proper medical treatment, a shortage of clothing, and deteriorating health conditions within the prisons.
The PPS report, based on visits conducted by its legal teams during October and early November, also noted that acts of repression occur in certain prison sections every two to three days. These acts involve physical assault, the use of weapons, and the deployment of police dogs, in addition to ongoing issues such as starvation, medical negligence, and daily abuse.
Currently, there are more than 9,300 detainees held in Israeli prisons, with approximately 90 of them being women.
