The administration of Israeli prisons is still practicing the policy of administrative detention against Palestinian detainees, which is considered among systematic policies, that does not take into consideration the rights to appropriate medical care guaranteed to them in accordance with international agreements and treaties.

In the same context, the Commission of Detainees' Affairs revealed several cases of sick detainees in Israeli prisons, including the detainee Abdulkareem Rimawi (45 years) from Ramallah, who is currently detained at Naqab Prison. He suffers from the procrastination by the administration of prison and the prison's clinic in proving the appropriate medical care, and he is just given painkillers. Whereas he suffers from a gunshot in his right leg and abdomen, in addition to several pains in his back and right leg. He underwent medical examinations and x-rays and he was diagnosed with fragments that spread all over his body, where the doctor informed him that no surgery could be done and he has to adapt with this condition.

Another case in point is the detainee Mustafa Odeh (45 years) from the city of Tulkarem, who is detained at Megiddo prison. He underwent a surgery at the Hospital of Jenin before being detained, and he told the administration that he was supposed to undergo another surgery. However, the administration of prisons is procrastinating in making the needed medical tests that should be done before the surgery.

In addition, there is another case for the detainee Yaser Sharabati from Hebron, who is sentenced to life imprisonment and 20 years. He is detained at Ramoun prison and suffers from diabetes and pain in his right eye, but the clinic of the prison keeps delaying in his treatment.

The Commission of Detainees stated that the Israeli prisons' service must hold full responsibility on the policy of medical ignorance against Palestinian detainees, and called on the international institutions, the Red Cross and human rights organizations to be committed to their roles towards the cause of Palestinian detainees.
