🚨80% of Palestinian Prisoners in Israeli Prisons Infected With Scabies, Amid Widespread Torture, Starvation and Violent Raids The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) reported Sunday that approximately 80% of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, including women and children, are infected with scabies, with authorities denying adequate treatment, clothing and hygiene facilities. Based on lawyers’ visits throughout October and early November, PPS documented: ▪️ Violent raids every two to three days in some prison sections, with prisoners subjected to severe beatings, attacks by police dogs, rubber-coated bullets and gas. ▪️ Broken teeth and ribs, severed hand tendons, burns and extensive bruising, with injured prisoners denied necessary surgeries and medical care. ▪️ Systematic food deprivation, with prisoners receiving severely inadequate quantities and quality of food. ▪️ Severe overcrowding, forcing prisoners to sleep on floors while guards confiscate mattresses during the day. ▪️ Women prisoners at Damon Prison suffering painful skin infections, severe itching, sleep deprivation and inadequate healthcare. Israeli prison authorities reportedly dismiss confirmed scabies infections as allergies. ▪️ October 28 raid at Naqab Prison: Israeli forces fired rubber-coated bullets and sprayed gas at prisoners, injuring three and severely beating others. Separately, Palestinian rights organization Al-Dameer warned that prisoners at Naqab Prison are being denied winter clothing despite falling temperatures, with scabies causing painful boils, blisters and skin sores. More than 9,300 Palestinians, including approximately 90 women, are currently imprisoned by Israel, according to PPS. The organization described the abuses as a systematic campaign of torture, starvation and medical neglect intended to destroy Palestinian prisoners physically and psychologically.
