The Israeli Prison Administration  in “Ofer Prison” reported that the prisoner Moayyed Al-Khatib (20 years), from Bethlehem, was infected with the “Corona” virus.

Moayyed Al-Khatib is the brother of the martyr Dawood Al-Khatib, who passed away in the Israeli prisons last September.

The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) stated in a statement on Monday, that the prisoner Al-Khatib was arrested 20 days ago, and was transferred to the “Al-Ma’bar” section in “Ofer” in which the detainees are newly held, and he will be transferred to the cells for isolation.

The Number of Palestinian detainees infected with COVID-19 rises to more than 100.

In this context, PPS confirmed that recording more casualties among the prisoners and newly detained prisoners with the “Corona” virus recently, threatens for the worse in light of the continued occupation and transportation operations, which are the basis for contact with the Israeli soldiers and its prisoners, and they are the only source to infect and transmit the virus to prisoners.

PPS renewed its demand for all the competent authorities to the necessity of having a neutral medical committee to supervise the results of the samples and follow up on the prisoners ’health.

Around 4,500 Palestinians, including 700 patients, 300 of them are dangerous health cases.
