3 Palestinian prisoners live harsh medical conditions in Negev prison

The Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission reported that there are 3 Palestinian prisoners in the Negev prison suffer from harsh health conditions as a result of the systematic medical violations practiced by the Israeli occupation prisons' administration.

One of those prisoners were Ramez Melhem, 24, from Bethlehem, who suffers from infections and stomach ulcers. As a result of being infected for a long time amid the negligence of providing him with care and medicine, his health situation deteriorated and started to suffer from abdominal cramps, according to the commission.

It also noted that the doctors working in the prison's clinic do not make the necessary checks to diagnoze him properly. They only give him pain killers that make him asleep most of the time.

Majed Jarrar, 42, from Tulkarm is another prisoner suffering from severe pains and some swelling in the throat. He was provided with antibiotics, but with no benefit. As a result of the repeated infections in the throat, he was transferred to Barzilai Medical Center.

The commission also stated that the prisoner Mustafa Al-Qadi, 19, from Al-Beireh town suffers from an injury in his left leg as he was shot by the occupation soldiers, noting that he did not complete treatment ans he was detained.
