The Prisoners' Media Office said Sunday that Palestinian detainees held in Negev prison suffer from hemorrhoids and acute, persistent pain, with some cases involving repeated bleeding. The office attributed the deteriorating conditions to the absence of medical treatment and proper healthcare provision within the facility.
The claims form part of a broader pattern of allegations regarding inadequate medical care in Israeli detention facilities. The Prisoners' Media Office regularly documents health complaints and conditions affecting Palestinians in custody, according to Shehab Wire. Officials with the media office have previously raised concerns about systemic gaps in prisoner healthcare and access to treatment.
