The Prisoners' Media Office reported that approximately 90 Palestinian women are held in Damoun prison under harsh conditions, including unprecedented overcrowding and ongoing medical neglect, Shehab Wire reported. The office said cells designated for three detainees now hold significantly more inmates.
The conditions have prompted concerns from prisoner advocacy groups monitoring detention facilities in Israeli prisons, where Palestinian women detainees have faced restrictions on family visits and limited access to adequate healthcare.
