The Palestinian Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) have reported a significant increase in the number of Palestinians who have been wounded by Israeli soldiers before abducting them since the start of the Israeli aggression on October 7, 2023.
The Commission and the PPS have emphasized the additional suffering experienced by wounded detainees in the Israeli prisons and detention camps, particularly in light of the numerous accounts of medical mistreatment endured by these detainees, especially after being transferred to prisons.
The statement also highlighted a serious increase in medical crimes committed against detainees from the Gaza Strip in the detention camps.
This includes limb amputations and surgeries performed without anesthesia, and various sorts of medical mistreatment, including denying them specialized and urgent care.
The statement added that these violations and all other violations against ailing and wounded detainees are part of the medical crimes that violate International Law and the Four Geneva Conventions.
