Newly released Palestinian detainees say they faced abuse in Israeli jails

They described abusive and humiliating treatment, including holding blindfolded and handcuffed detainees in cramped cages as well as beatings, intimidation, and harassment.

“The prisoners are dying every day. There is no food or drinks or medicine. There is no food or clothing. The disease is eating their bodies, and no one is looking at them,” said former detainee Aalam Hijazi.
“The water is not suitable for drinking,” he told Reuters. “I have worn these clothes for eight months.

“More than 9,170 Palestinians from the West Bank have been arrested by Israel since Oct. 7, it said, with thousands more “forcibly disappeared” from Gaza. It said their exact number was unknown as Israel has refused to disclose how many Palestinians from Gaza it was holding.

“We have left, but we call on you to get the rest out,” said former detainee.
