The Prisoners’ Media Office has warned of a severe deterioration in conditions inside Israel’s Ofer prison, citing food shortages, inadequate medical care and worsening health conditions among Palestinian detainees.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the office said prisoners have experienced significant weight loss as a result of the Israeli policy of starvation and the poor quality of food provided inside the facility.
According to the statement, the situation has been compounded by a lack of medical care, contributing to the spread of skin diseases among detainees.
“The continued starvation policy in Ofer prison has led to significant weight loss for a number of prisoners due to a severe shortage of food and its poor quality.”
The office said scabies and fungal infections have become increasingly widespread among prisoners, attributing the outbreak to inadequate healthcare and poor detention conditions.
