Palestinian prisoner Maha Abd al-Rahman Rifai, 55, continues to deteriorate in Damoun Prison, Shehab Wire reported. She suffers from chronic pain in her cartilage, joints, knees, and spine, alongside other undisclosed ailments that have worsened during her detention.
Rifai receives minimal medical treatment despite her serious health conditions, receiving only a single medication to manage multiple chronic problems. Palestinian prisoners' advocates have documented similar complaints of inadequate healthcare across Israeli detention facilities.
