Four Palestinians released from Israeli detention are in critical condition. The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that they have been hospitalized in Ramallah. Their release was part of the Gaza ceasefire deal.
Israel freed 369 Palestinian detainees on Saturday in exchange for three captives in Gaza. Many of the released prisoners showed signs of severe malnutrition and physical abuse.
Human Rights Groups Condemn Prison Conditions
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office strongly criticized Israel’s treatment of detainees. “The condition of the released prisoners shows the extent of the crimes and violations inside the prisons,” a spokesperson said.
Human rights organizations have long accused Israel of mistreating Palestinian prisoners. Former detainees frequently report experiencing critical conditions, including physical abuse and medical neglect.
