The Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Authority said that the Israeli prison administration continues to violate the rights of prisoners and detainees, deliberately neglecting their health conditions, and refraining from providing them with the necessary treatment and what they need in light of the difficult conditions they are suffering from.

In its report issued today, Monday, after the visit of its lawyer, Fadi Obaidat, the Commission revealed two medical cases in the Negev prison, including the case of prisoner Khaled Kamel Nawabit (46 years old) from the town of Barqa / Jericho Governorate, where he suffers from bouts of shortness of breath with the body becoming limp from time to time. Today, this condition has become associated with him all the time, noting that the prisoner asked for tests on his health condition, but the prison administration still refuses to do so.

It is noteworthy that the prisoner was scheduled to undergo open heart surgery at Ramallah Hospital on 11/27/2022 to replace the mitral valve, but he was arrested earlier than the scheduled date for it to be performed.

The prisoner, Abdul Salam Bani Odeh, from the town of Tamoun, Jenin Governorate, suffers from swelling and blurred vision resulting from an accidental accident resulting from the presence of a small iron skewer, which led to an injury to the left eye on April 12, 2023. It caused an injury to the eye, and as a result, he was transferred to Soroka Hospital. The wound was stitched and he was informed of the need for review after a week, but for four weeks he was not transferred for review and examinations, which led to a worsening of his health condition.
