Human rights activists: Very difficult conditions for female prisoners in Israeli prisons

The Commission for the Affairs of Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners revealed the conditions of female prisoners in Damoun Prison. The Commission explained that “the number of female prisoners in the prison has risen to 76, including 43 female prisoners from Gaza, 18 from the West Bank, and the rest from Jerusalem and the occupied interior.”


It stressed that "the female prisoners face very difficult circumstances, as the prisoners' rooms are raided on an almost daily basis, and the most basic necessities of life are confiscated from them."


The authority noted that “all female prisoners suffer from abdominal and kidney pain, due to the chlorine content in drinking water, and they face deliberate medical neglect by the prison administration, in addition to being provided with bad food and confiscating all of their clothes and personal belongings.”


It is noteworthy that the number of prisoners in the Israeli occupation prisons reached about 7,800 prisoners by the end of November 2023, including 76 female prisoners and 260 children, and the number of administrative detainees reached 2,870 detainees, according to data issued by the Commission.
